Reviewing metrics for contributing that includes other issues March 11, 2021 5:00 AM By Megan R. Wilson
Employees and shareholders are poised to have more influence over how dollars flow from business political action committees, as corporations and trade associations re-examine their approaches to political giving in the wake of the insurrection at the Capitol.
In the days after Jan. 6, at least 27 business PACs announced policies that would take the election certification vote into account when making donations, according to an analysis by Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Government. At least 40 more halted all PAC contributions. Republicans ended up challenging election certifications in Arizona and Pennsylvania, with 147 GOP lawmakers voting for one or both objections.

The Church of England has refused to bless radical plans for home weddings proposed by the Law Commission.
Last year, the Commission – which advises the Government – recommended that pubs, hot air balloons, rivers and lakes would be suitable locations for weddings to take place, if officiated by a state-recognised individual.
It also said weddings could take place in private homes, and that the proposed changes would allow couples to pick from a wider variety of both religious and non-religious ceremonies.
