SALEM — As one of several states that doesn’t limit how much individuals, businesses or unions can contribute to candidates, parties or causes, Oregon has earned an “A plus” rating from a Virginia-based group founded by an advocate of deregulating campaign finance.
The rating comes as supporters of campaign finance reform are renewing efforts to amend the Oregon Constitution to allow such limits.
Oregon, Alabama, Nebraska, Utah and Virginia each got a perfect score in rankings released this week by the Institute for Free Speech.
