House beats bill to expand financial disclosure in judicial races

The vote was 29-50 with five voting present, indicating at least a tiny smattering of Republican support.
The sponsor, Rep. Andrew Collins (D-Little Rock) said dark money sources had spent $3 million to influence these judicial races since 2014 while actual candidates had spent only $1 million. The advertising is often misleading.
Wikimedia Commons The Daniel-Johnson Dam in Quebec, Canada, is the largest arch and buttress dam in the world.
For the past month Maine lawmakers have been considering a slate of bills that could sideline Hydro-Quebec from an upcoming referendum on Central Maine Power s highly controversial transmission project.
The legislation centers on whether a company wholly owned by the Quebec provincial government should be allowed to spend money to influence Maine voters in the campaign.

Corporate America is clashing with GOP leaders over Georgia Republicans’ bill to overhaul voting laws, representing another break between the two forces that have long been closely aligned.
A slew of corporations have denounced the legislation over measures that civil rights groups argue that would restrict voting access for people of color. Delta Air Lines and Coca Cola, both headquartered in Georgia, are among some 100 companies to release statements opposing the bill. Major League Baseball moved its All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver in response to outcry over the law.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) a top beneficiary of political donations from business interests made headlines this week when he issued a warning to corporate America to “stay out of politics.” He noted he wasn’t referring to political contributions.
