[EL] Another great day for disclosure.

[Adam Bonin]

I want to make sure I understand the claim here, because I guess in this
case the (c)(3) is serving as counsel to a political entity, and not merely
as an independent amicus?  

 

It also seems, based on the complaint (
<http://www.pdc.wa.gov/Home/enforcement/status/pdfs/2013/13028.CUI.pdf>
http://www.pdc.wa.gov/Home/enforcement/status/pdfs/2013/13028.CUI.pdf), that
the gravamen of the complaint is that the recall committee was seeking
reimbursement for the in-kind legal services it had received, but hadn't
previously disclosed those services as contributions. So that complicates
the story you're trying to tell, at a minimum.

Shocking. Wish I could say the tactic is surprising.

 

Well, if this policy sticks and proliferates, I can think of nothing that
will better bolster the Socialist Workers exemption in administrative
agencies and district courts across America. Green Party candidates pushing
constitutional questions will qualify, of course; Tea Party candidates will
not...

 

And we will all profess to be shocked again.

Apparently the Washington Public Disclosure Commission

<http://wyliberty.org/feature/another-chilling-step-in-campaign-finance-disc

I heard about this yesterday, but I remain shocked. If you can't shut up the
grassroots, shut down their lawyers. It's somewhat brilliant, but don't call
it "reform."
