"Since 2008, when Missouri abolished contribution limits, Mr.
Sinquefield <http://www.rexsinquefield.org/> has donated more than $20
million to local candidates and political action committees, driving the
political debate on issues like education, upending the political world
here and making him perhaps the most influential private citizen in the
state. More than half of that money has gone to advance his signature
cause: eliminating state and local income taxes in Missouri, a major
source of government revenue, and replacing them with sales taxes."

NYT Article on Millionaires Funding CA Ballot Measures --- Is This
Really Something New? <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=41959>
Posted on October 18, 2012 10:30 am

Here is a guest post from USC's JohnMatsusaka,
<http://www-bcf.usc.edu/%7Ematsusak/> one of the very best people
working in the direct democracy area:
Yesterday the New York Times reported
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/17/us/politics/california-ballot-initiatives-dominated-by-the-very-rich.html?ref=politics&_r=0>
that rich individuals were heavily involved in funding California
ballot propositions, and at a rate unlike any "ballot in modern
history." The article gave no information from previous elections
to support the claim, though. To satisfy my own curiosity, I spent a
few minutes online looking at the 2006 election cycle, and found
that Reed Hastings spent $5 million on Prop 88, venture capitalist
John Doerr spent $2 million on Prop 88, Steve Bing spent $48 million
on Prop 87, and James Holman spent $2 million on Prop 85. I have a
feeling it would not be difficult to find other years like this that
don't look so different from 2012 (a good research topic for
election law scholars). David Broder spent an entire chapter in his
2000 book /Democracy Derailed/ discussing rich individuals who were
active in proposition campaigns in the late 1990s --- back then it
was Ron Unz on bilingual education, Paul Allen on a football stadium
for the Seahawks football team, Reed Hastings on charter schools,
and George Soros on medical marijuana, among others. It may be
noteworthy that the wealthy are active in initiative politics, but I
am not sure it is anything new.

/Seattle Times/: "
<http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2019458942_adcampaign18m.html>The Seattle
Times Co. jumped into two of the state's hottest political contests
Wednesday, launching a $75,000 independent-expenditure campaign
promoting Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna and announcing
a similar effort in support of gay marriage. The move --- which company
executives described as an experiment to show the power of newspaper
political advertising --- drew harsh criticism from Democrats and from
opponents of gay marriage, as well as from journalism and political
experts."
