Stronger disclosure laws are necessary
By Nancy Neff, Letter to the Editor
Knowing who gave the money for a proposition makes all the
difference to voters. The committee for Prop. 32 and
against Prop. 30, which got $11 million laundered through
groups associated with the Koch brothers, has given me yet
one more reason to vote no on Prop. 32 and yes on Prop.
30.
We obviously need stronger disclosure laws. The incoming
Legislature should pass the California DISCLOSE Act,
sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign and
supported by California Common Cause and the League of
Women Voters. The California DISCLOSE Act will require the
top three real funders, not committee names, to be clearly
listed on political ads.
