Campaign Contribution Petition, Austin City Clerk Controversy

The host details an incident where a group called Citizens for a Little Less Corruption gathered 29,000 signatures for a petition to limit city council campaign contributions to $100. The Austin City Clerk reportedly threw out 14,000 signatures, leaving the group short of the requirement. This is cited as evidence of a local network protecting its interests.
