THE RECORD
Political contributions by Bergen County contractors — or potential contractors — to countywide candidates would be limited under a resolution introduced Wednesday by Freeholder Robert Hermansen.
The resolution is one of several drafts considered by the freeholder board’s pay-to-play reform committee, of which Hermansen, a Republican, serves as chairman.
Previous drafts featured higher limits than those in Wednesday night’s resolution, which would set contribution thresholds for businesses and individuals at $300 per candidate per year and a total of $2,500 annually for all candidates.
