Unopposed get campaign money

The list includes such House leadership figures as Speaker Jim Wright, D-Dexas, and Reps. Claude Pepper, D-Fla., chairman of the Rules Committee; John Dingell, D-Mich., chairman of the Energy and Kika de Garza, D-Texas, chairman of the Agriculture Committee.
WASHINGTON — The 59 House members facing no major party challenge to re-election have raised $14.8 million for their campaigns, and nearly half of them will be entitled to keep any unspent money when they retire, a private study made available vesterdav said.
Forty-three of the 59 unopposed lawmakers are Democrats who control the House, according to the study compiled by the watchdog group
"That these PACs feel compelled to contribute to lawmakers who have no opponent show that what's being sought is access and influence, not compatible candidates or good government," said Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen, the parent organization of Congress Watch.
Congress Watch. The $14.8 million includes $7.4 million from political action committees.
The legislators or their aides who were questioned defended the fund raising, arguing that campaign funds must be collected before they know whether they will have an election opponent.
ager for his father, Rep. Sam Gibbons, D-Fla.
Congress Watch said the elder Gibbons had raised $309,537 from PACs, second highest total among the unopposed incumbents, and third most over the Rep. Marti Post, D Texas, and Dingell. Gibbons is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee subcommittee on trade.
PACs are formed by corporations, labor unions and other interest groups to funnel money to candidates, with incumbents the longest-serving, according to Federal Election Commission records. PACs sent 88 percent of their contributions to lawmakers seeking re-election.
Congress Watch found that from Jan. 1, 1987, through Sept. 30, 1988, 31
of the 59 incumbents with no primary or major party general election opponents raised more than $100,000 from PACs. Of these, 12 raked in more than $200,000 and three pocketed more than $300,000.
During the same period, 20 unopposed incumbents raised more than $300,000 from PACs and individuals combined. Of these, 10 collected more than $400,000 and three received more than $500,000. The figures were compiled from Federal Election Commission data.
When Congress passed legislation in 1974 that barred lawmakers from using unuseful campaign money for personal use after retiring from Congress, they exempted House members elected before 1980. Twenty-eight of the 60 representatives studied would qualify to keep the money.

Express lane voting a California prospect
The Associated Press
Even by California standards this year's ballot is crowded, complex and confusing.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The ballot is so bewildering in California this year that some officials have borrowed an idea from the supermarket for their vote on the names for those who know how they are going to vote.
There are 29 statewide propositions, and some communities have added dozens of measures and campaigns. And of course, voters also must
In San Francisco, which this year has the longest ballot in California and possibly the nation, the registrar of voters threw up her hands and quit three weeks before Election Day, warning of "electoral gridlock" at the polls.
contend with the presidential election, a senatorial contest and congressional races.
state law that limits each voter to 10 minutes in the booth.
But officials don't want to try to enforce that because they don't think that even those who know how they intend to vote on every item can vote that quickly this year.
Statewide, authorities have also dusted off, just in case it's needed, a never-enforced 78-year-old
"It will still take you 10 to 15 minutes just to punch the holes," said Germaine Wong, acting registrar of voters in San Francisco.
