[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2017-16: Joe Buchman Donation

[Ken Moellman]

What committee would be charged with coming up with these guidelines?
Another committee?   I'm pretty busy so I don't think I want to commit to
direct action on another committee.  But as a former campaign manager, and
former candidate, I would like to give some suggested guidelines or
watermarks.
