RESOLUTION NO. 91-: •147 <br />r <br />political contributions to and for the benefit of the Governor and <br />Cabinet, while at the same time diluting the political process and <br />impinging on the ability of local candidates and committees to put forth <br />their message to the electorate. <br />4. We object to House Bill 2251's attempts to limit campaign <br />expenditures as inconsistent with the U.S. Supreme Court holding in <br />Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, wherein the Court held: <br />"A restriction on the amount of money a person or <br />group can spend on political communication during a <br />campaign necessarily reduces the quantity of <br />expression by restricting the number of issues <br />discussed, the depth of their exploration, and the <br />size of the audience reached. This is because <br />virtually every means of communicating in today's <br />mass society requires the expenditure of money." <br />The foregoing resolution was offered by Commissioner <br />Scurlock and seconded by Commissioner W h e e l e r , and, being, put <br />to a vote, the vote was as follows: <br />• Chairman Richard N.
