SPRING MassFiscal slams state Congressional Delegation for cosponsoring politically motivated campaign finance legislation T he Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance (MassFiscal) recently held a Zoom press conference calling out Massachusetts’s congressional delegation and urging them to withdraw their support for H.R. 1, a federal bill that would remove the bipartisan makeup of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and mandate that taxpayers would fund future political campaigns, essentially a bailout for politicians. MassFiscal was joined at the conference by Bradley Smith, a former Chairman of the Federal Elections Commission and one of the country’s most prominent authorities on election and campaign fi nance law. “Campaign fi nance law agencies should never become a partisan witch hunt shop, but that is exactly what would happen under this misguided legislation. It would break up the bi-partisan makeup of the FEC and make it into a politicized attack agency. The Massachusetts Congressional delegation would benefit greatly under these new rules because they would have a majority of Democratic members on the FEC shielding them from prosecution if they commit any wrongdoing,” said MassFiscal Spokesperson/Board Member Paul Craney.
