"A government panel is deadlocked over the issue of campaign finance reform. The committee submits its recommendations to Justice Minister Tuija Brax on Tuesday. <BR>However they could not agree on the key question of donation limits. <BR>A majority of the working group urged a cap of 20,000 euros in municipal elections, 100,000 in parliamentary elections and two million in presidential campaigns. <BR>However the representatives of the main government parties, the Centre and National Coalition, wanted no limit on campaign donations. Politicians from those two parties were the primary recipients of questionable and undeclared campaign donations from millionaire businessmen, which were revealed last spring.
