SCOTUS ruling on disclosing contributions could leak into finance law

SCOTUS ruling on disclosing contributions could leak into finance law By Bob Egelko © Jose Luis Magana/Associated Press The U.S. Supreme Court campaign finance laws may be newly vulnerable after the court found a California donor disclosure law unconstitutional. When the Supreme Court authorized unlimited political spending by corporations in the Citizens United ruling in 2010, it offered assurances that the public would still learn who was giving money to political candidates, because campaign finance laws required disclosure of major donors and their contributions. As Justice Anthony Kennedy put it in a section of the ruling upholding disclosure requirements, “This transparency enables the electorate to make informed decisions.”

Editorial: Charitable donations are a form of influence-peddling And they should be stopped

It’s a truism about politics that money follows power. And in California, those with money who want to influence those with lawmaking power have myriad legal ways of doing so. Individuals, companies and special interests looking to curry favor with elected officials can donate to reelection campaign accounts through political action committees, give gifts, pay for exotic travel, and wine and dine officials all within limits set in law. There are indirect ways to buy goodwill too, often without limits; one of the most troubling is through the use of “behested payments.” That’s when elected officials ask donors to give to a specific nonprofit or government program. The only legal requirement is that donations over $5,000 be reported to the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission.
