California governor Jerry Brown signed a bill last week that cracks down on anonymous donations. Nonprofit groups will have to disclose the names of donors who contribute $1,000 or more to support political activity in California (if the nonprofit makes contributions of more than $50,000 in a year). The bill was inspired by the 2012 election when two “dark money” nonprofits spent $15 million to influence several California ballot measures. A watchdog group learned that the groups, based in Arizona and affiliated with the Koch brothers, had violated California law by not reporting their contributions correctly. Can anybody guess who fought this measure tooth and nail?
