Nerve Endings Firing Away: "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 (PDF link) 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! The legislation was written by Supervisor Sophie Maxwell [via Daily Kos and Personal Democracy]"
