For Star subscribers: Two special interest groups have gone to court to try to keep the measure that widens public disclosure requirements by individuals making big donations to political organizations from taking effect.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The group that convinced Arizona voters last year to outlaw"dark money" is asking a judge to block a bid by two special interest groups to keep the law from taking effect.
All this does, Reyes said, is pulls back the curtain to ensure that voters know not just the name of some organization listed as the direct source of the dollars but the individuals, organizations and corporations who are really providing the financing. Under current law, a donation could be listed as coming from some group with a name like"Arizonans for Arizona." This ensures that those who have financed that group also must be made public.
"The act violates that right by forcing the disclosure of information related to the confidential monetary and in-kind donations to charities engaging in campaign media spending," according to attorneys for the Goldwater Institute, which is representing them."If the act could be characterized as an unconstitutional intrusion into a person's private affairs, then every campaign finance disclosure law requiring the reporting of contributions would be invalid," she wrote.
On the other side of the equation, Reyes said, are the public purposes served by shining a public light on the myriad of political committees whose names give voters no idea who really is providing the funds, groups that have until now been protected from actually disclosing for whom they are fronting.
