PHOENIX Former Attorney General Terry Goddard is making a third and, he hopes, finally successful pitch to put a measure on the Arizona ballot to outlaw so-called dark money.
The initiative would require the public disclosure of the true source of donations of more than $5,000 spent by organizations in support of or opposing any candidate or ballot measure. Current law exempts these social welfare organizations from having to list their contributors.
