I don't have a problem. I keep all the snow globes and pens and blankets in a box, and I give them out to people afterwards. I guess to me the issue of riding associations is the most obvious direct political benefit that any politician has. I don't know if anything is clearer. Perhaps we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I'm interested in your issue of administrative monetary penalties and when they should be used. If someone's late in reporting, is that an automatic administrative monetary penalty, or would you look at the situation?
