For Star subscribers: Conservative advocacy group wants judge to quash new law exposing 'dark money'' political donors.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — A conservative advocacy group founded by the Koch brothers is asking a federal judge to quash a new voter-approved campaign finance law aimed at exposing"dark money'' contributions for political purposes.
People are also reading… The lawsuit is the second effort by special interest groups to kill the law. But that law said only the name of the organization need be made public, not the individuals or corporations who donated to the group. Many commercials identify the sponsors by only a bland-sounding organizational name, with viewers given no clue as to who was really financing them.
The group says there are other problems. The lawsuit says the initiative used the phrase"campaign media spending'' as the trigger for when disclosure is required. That means not just any public communication that promotes, supports, attacks or opposes a candidate within six months of an election, the suit says, but also any communication that merely"refers to a clearly identified candidate'' between 90 days before a primary right through the general election.
