WV's New Campaign Finance Reporting Syst em Provides Greater Transparency
By Chuck
Democratic processes hinge
on fair and free elections that
represent the people's choices to
lead. Campaigns are mounted
to share a candidate's message
on how that candidate is best to
share their interests in a position
of influence. Democratic processes
function properly when choices
are determined by the will of an
informed electorate showing up on
Election Day.
As candidates launch campaigns
to promote their candidacy, access
to information for those directly
funding candidates are important
for public transparency and
to diminish any appearance of
influence or corruption. To this
end, the West Virginia Secretary of
State's Office has been hard at work
from day one to increase public
access of candidate contributions,
expenditures and the ease to
summarize this data.
Sunshine is~ the greatest
deterrent to corruption and the
West Virginia Secretary of State's
Office is committed to make
elections "Easy to Vote & Hard to
Cheat" by increasing transparency
in the elections process. The ease
by which the general public can
access campaign finance reports
has improved substantially over
Flannery, Deputy Secretary & Chief of Staff
WV Secretary of State's Office
the last ten months thanks to
the modernization effort of the
Secretary of State's Office.
Today, West Virginia is
well ahead of the curve in
online accessibility of financial
contributions to candidates that
report to the Secretary of State.
Beginning in the 2018 elections, all
candidates for statewide offices as
well as for state Senate, House of
Delegates, Circuit Court, Family
Court and Magistrate are required
to file campaign finance reports
online with the Secretary of State's
Office.
In 2017, Secretary of State Mac
Warner challenged his Elections
Division to redesign and implement
a totally online Campaign Finance
Reporting System (CFRS) with
increased access of information to
the public. The primary goals of
that challenge were (1) to provide
an easy-to-use online method for
candidates and committees to
record 811 of their donations and
expenditures, and (2) to provide
greater transparency for the
general public to review those
donations and expenditures.
In addition to candidates,
state law requires political action
committees, political parties
and those making individual
expenditures in an attempt to affect
the outcome of an election or ballot
initiative to file campaign finance
reports as well.
The result of that challenge
produced one of the most transparent
and easy-to-navigate Campaign
Finance Reporting Systems in the
nation. Our Office encourages you
to review the site and the candidate
information provided at www cfrs.
wvsos.gov.
The timing of the information
provided by the campaigns to our
office is very recent. All candidates
and committees were required to
file their First General Election
Report by midnight on Friday,
September 28th.
Those reports will disclose all of
the expenditures, donations and
loans recorded between May 21,
2018 to September 23, 2018.
Transparency is a hallmark to
fair and secure elections. Our state's
new CFRS provides the general
public with individual campaign
totals, general expenditure
types from all campaigns and a
list of top contributors. Should
anyone question an expenditure
or contribution to a campaign or
committee we encourage feedback
to our investigations division at
1-877-FRAUD-WV.
harm - 39 percent of the country's
population.
Eric Whalen, community
coordinator with the alliance, said
the map is a wake-up call to those
who review it.
"A lot of folks just aren't
aware that there are over 12,000
chemical facilities in America -
in neighborhoods and towns all
across the nation that could
at any moment explode, or emit
poisonous gas, and in some cases,
kill thousands of people," Whalen
said.
The analysis suggested that
125,000 schools and 11,000
medical facilities are vulnerable
to a chemical disaster. The report
recommended the public be made
aware of the potential dangers, and
whenever possible, that the risks
be eliminated or reduced.
Whalen and others noted that
accidents or 'near-misses' aren't
unusual, such as at the Torrance
Refinery outside Los Angeles,
owned by Exxon Mobil. An explosion
in 2015 prompted a near-miss with
a massive piece of ductwork and
a container of hydrofluoric acid.
A mountain is composed of
tiny grains of earth. The ocean
is made up of tiny drops of
water. Even so, life is but an
endless series of little details,
actions, speeches, and thoughts.
And the consequences whether
good or bad of even the least of
them are far-reaching. Swami
Sivananda
"It's just hard for people to recognize
a hazard before it happens. We
have to recognize that this is a risk
that just should not be tolerated."
While the hazardous facilities
present a risk to anyone nearby,
Whalen added that some
populations and neighborhoods are
disproportionately affected.
"People of color and the poor are
overwhelmingly at risk; they're
getting piled on" Whalen said.
"So, they deal with the day-to-day
pollution that these facilities emit.
They live closer to facilities on
average, so they're more likely to
face a chemical disaster. They also,
unfortunately, face a higher risk of
cancers and respiratory disease."
The Trump Administration
recently attempted to block rule
updates designed to improve
chemical disaster-prevention
measures at more than 12,000
facilities regulated under a program
known as the Risk Management
Plan. That move was defeated by
the Environmental Justice Health
Alliance and other groups that
successfully sued to enact safety
improvements.
