if the public official fails to tell a donor that they should support, i don't think the donor should be penalized. we should not be punishing donors for nonprofits. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello chair and commissioners. tworen charles from afj. i'd like to echo debbie's strong sentiments, and i this issue has one many nonprofits had concerns about, and i think these show they were really listened to and incorporated into this legislation by the staff, so we sincerely appreciate that. specifically adding a financial interest component and time out to state law, i think makes a ton of sense from our perspective. and while i think reasonable minds and well intentioned good government advocates can disagree with the particulars of a disclosure regime, i have to say that from our perspective at least, we support efforts for disclosure and transparency, and i think again, we can debate the particulars, but from our perspective, this is far, far superior to a ban and tieing it to an actual financial interest on the part of the parties is hugely helpful, so thank you for your work on tha

we, the public officials of this state, threw them on the street. we must fight to protect our parents and our grandparents, whose fixed income cannot keep up with the rising cost of property taxes. this common sense solution will require municipalities to put a little bit more effort and show a little bit of compassion for the people who live in their communities. and, frankly, i don't think that's too much to ask. when i was mayor, we would have folk who's had problems with their taxes. they would come in, and i see a counselor that i would share in those meetings that we never had to throw people out. and there were some really sad stories, but we always fondund way. and i think we as mainers have the fortitude to do that. and we don't have to make it very complex. it could be a couple -- a one-paragraph. do everything you can before you foreclose. that's all we ask.

what is it that the public official is prohibited against? >> well, right now, the way i interpret this, anything of value would mean if a supervisor is going to be a co-chair of a fundraiser, a fundraising event for a community service agency within his or her district, he or she will not be able to ask for anything of value, including someone lending a water station for a walk-a-thon or a temporary station for people to stop by or a warriors stadium walkthrough. so for me, it goes back to the whole broad interpretation of what "anything of value" is. i don't have a problem with people putting in a specific monetary value, if they say anything over a certain amount, which was something that was recommended, i think. but the way it is left right now, anything of value could be, as he said, a ride to an event or lending a store front to hold an event when a non-profit organization will not be able to rent a facility. so, for me, given the entire situation, providing vital human services, this would be a chilly deterrent for folks who really wan
