Why did Peter Corroon decline to make declaration to limit campaign contributions?

Peter Corroon is certainly touting a message of campaign finance reform to limit campaign contributions when his Republican opponent is outpacing his fund raising effort, but has Peter Corroon always been for limiting campaign contributions?

The answer is NO.

In his 2001 race for Salt Lake City Council in District #3, Peter Corroon filed a statement with the City Recorder declining to make a declaration to limit campaign contributions and expenditures.



Fast forward to today. Peter Corroon repeatedly has called for campaign finance reform yet he has never held himself to self-limit campaign contributions and expenses. The do-as-I-say, not as-I-do strategy demonstrates the excruciating hypocrisy that has defined Peter Corroon's candidacies.
