"Controlled committee" means a committee either directly or indirectly controlled by a candidate or committee, or which acts jointly with a candidate or controlled committee in the making of expenditures or the receipt or solicitation of contributions. A committee is deemed controlled if another committee or candidate exercises significant influence over its actions or decisions. A committee may be controlled with respect to one or more candidates and independent with respect to other candidates. (Ord. 5895-NS § 2, 1988)
