The Nanaimo Daily News reporter(s) and editor are to be thanked for their graphic portrayal of Campaign contributions and spending in our recent municipal election.  Thursday's front page graph provides a picture of contributions and spending along with the accompanying list of major contributors provides a quick overview of a lot of data in a succinct and  informative matter.  The editorial then goes on to use this information to discuss the fact that this information comes about 120 days too late to be useful to the election itself.  It remains, however, useful to the public in the future when contributors come before Council with requests and we can see who got what from whom and draw our own conclusions.

Thanks Again, Daily News.
