SAN FRANCISCO STARTS REGULATING BLOGS | 2006-02-14

This is from a website called littlegreefootballs.com

I do not know anything about it.

I did not realize that McCain-Feingold woud restrict blogs, too:

"Just when you thought the Federal Election Commission had it out for the blogosphere, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors took it up a notch and announced yesterday that it will soon vote on a city ordinance that would require local bloggers to register with the city Ethics Commission and report all blog-related costs that exceed $1,000 in the aggregate."

"Blogs that mention candidates for local office that receive more than 500 hits will be forced to pay a registration fee and will be subject to website traffic audits, according to Chad Jacobs, a San Francisco City Attorney."

"The entire Board is set to vote on the measure on April 5th, 2005. I wonder if they'll be forced to register their own blogs!"
