.Spending Cap Lifted in Oakland Mayor’s Race?

Coalition for a Safer California, a Sacramento political group with close ties to ex-state Senator Don Perata, is declaring that it has exceeded Oakland’s $95,000 spending cap for independent committees, thereby possibly lifting the cap for all other candidates and committees in the campaign. The move could be pivotal in the mayor’s race because of Perata’s prodigious fund-raising abilities and because he is close to reaching the city’s $379,000 spending limit for mayoral candidates even though the election is still six weeks away.
