Interesting and all, but largely accomplished? The limit for individual donors is $5,000, and $10,000 for the candidate. The monies left over are held by the city until the person decides if they will run again and then if not donated to a registered charity already.

Furthermore Kent Hehr pledged to release his donors names months ago.

I guess overall this is a pretty weak policy with things already in place.

I also wouldn't say that he is taking any risk at all in limiting his spending to $650k or thereabouts. From what I've seen and heard in conversations with a number of sources the funds for this years campaign are smaller than what they were in years past. I doubt he could raise $650k, so its really not a limit at all in that sense.
