ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 13th day of April, 2007, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is hereby granted, limited to the following issue:

Whether the Philadelphia Code Chapter 20-1000, et seq. ("Campaign Finance Law"), which places limitations on political campaign contributions, is invalid under the Home Rule Act, 53 P.S. § 13133, because it is "contrary to, or in limitation of" the Pennsylvania Election Code where the Election Code already contains comprehensive provisions regulating the permissible size, type and manner of political campaign contributions, but also allows unlimited contributions in most instances?
