Per Curiam

Opinion

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 *9 regulating the permissible size, type and manner of political campaign contributions, but also allows unlimited contributions in most instances?
