Wichita, KS campaign finance reform ethics policy

The Wichita City Council enacted a new ethics policy focused on campaign finance reform by setting gift limits for elected and appointed city officials for the first time in the city's history. Any gifts over $50 must be reported annually and city officials cannot receive more than $150 a year in gifts from a specific donor. The city created an Ethics Advisory Board to investigate ethics complaints, require ethics training for minor offenses, and issue fines up to $1,000 for serious violations.
