Vermont state Treasurer James Douglas wants legislation reintroduced that would stop the state's financial service providers from contributing to the state treasurer's campaign.
The legislation was part of an omnibus campaign reform bill that died last year, Mr. Douglas said. This year, the bill is expected to be introduced as stand-alone legislation.
The treasurer's office already has internal guidelines banning gifts, but the legislation would add to his crackdown on influence buying, he said.
