Billionaires funding NYC mayoral race

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/21/nyregion/mayor-super-pacs-money.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage

Who Do the Billionaires Want for Mayor? Follow Their Money. - The New York Times One thing some may hope to get is an expansion of charter schools in the city. Other billionaires financing super PACs in this primary include four investors who support charter schools, a favored ... www.nytimes.com

"Super PACs are theoretically independent of the political campaigns, and their spending is not supposed to be coordinated with individual candidates. But questions of the funds' independence emerged in April, when New York City's Campaign Finance Board withheld the release of public matching funds to the campaign of Shaun Donovan, who served as the Obama administration's housing secretary and budget director.

"The board wanted to delve into the relationship between Mr. Donovan's campaign and the super PAC supporting him, New Start N.Y.C., which is largely funded by his father. The board eventually released the matching funds." [Emph. added.]

Laws Preventing Dark Money Disclosure Are Sweeping the Nation

https://readsludge.com/2021/06/15/new-laws-preventing-dark-money-disclosure-are-sweeping-the-nation/

 

“These bills are about making dark money darker,” said Aaron McKean, legal counsel at the nonpartisan, nonprofit Campaign Legal Center. “These aren’t churches or the Salvation Army, these are politically-active nonprofits that are spending money in elections, or spending money lobbying for changes in the law, or trying to change public opinion, but they don’t want to have to disclose their donors.”

Koch-and-switch About seven months ago, billionaire businessman Charles Koch's smiling face was in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. The 85-year-old Koch had spent decades funding a vast network of far-right causes, including the Tea Party, the movement which laid the groundwork for Donald Trump's ascension to the presidency. popular.info

Charles Koch has reneged on promise not to fund those in Congress who voted against certifying the election of Biden and has heavily funded the campaign against the For the People Act.

OpenSecrets News: GOP bill would codify IRS rule hiding 'dark money' donors

http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/05/gop-codify-irs-rule-darkmoney-donors/?utm_source=twitter

A new GOP bill would prevent the IRS from mandating that 501(c)(4) groups identify their top donors in filings to the agency. This would turn IRS guidance issued under Trump into law.
