The Philadelphia Board of Ethics on Monday sued a super PAC and nonprofit supporting Jeff Brown’s bid for mayor, accusing him of coordinating with them, a violation of the city’s campaign finance law.

Citing an “extensive and elaborate scheme to circumvent the city’s campaign contribution limits,” the board wants a judge to issue an emergency order prohibiting the super PAC and nonprofit from spending money to influence the May 16 primary election for mayor and to cancel any planned television advertising or other efforts to support Brown’s campaign.

A hearing is scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Shane Creamer, executive director for the Board of Ethics, said Brown “engaged in extensive fundraising” for the super PAC, For A Better Philadelphia, and a nonprofit by the same name that donated to the super PAC. Creamer said the board told the super PAC on March 30 to stop making expenditures.

1. It might be too late.

Brown is the front runner right now, mostly due to these ads that have been playing forever.

I don’t dislike the guy, I’m just concerned about his complete ignorance about how this city’s government works.
