Arizona Supreme Court lifts campaign finance limits

Out of Arizona:  the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that political candidates can accept much larger sums of money from donors. In a brief order, the justices said the Republican-controlled Legislature was within its legal right to decide that contenders both statewide and legislative office can take up to $4,000 from individuals and political action committees. The current limit is $440 for legislative candidates and $912 for those seeking statewide office.
