"disclosure is shaping up as the key question"
BNA Money and Politics ($$) reported on a Heritage Foundation event that focused on the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) proposed electioneering communication rulemaking and the Wisconsin Right to Life Supreme Court ruling. "The June Supreme Court decision that struck down restrictions on corporate and labor union funding of political advertisements said nothing about disclosure of who is paying for ads, but disclosure is shaping up as the key question confronting the Federal Election Commission in the wake of the Court's ruling, according to experts debating the issue at an Oct. 4 roundtable discussion." One of the alternative proposals the FEC put forth would remove the disclosure requirements for exempt ads, which OMB Watch supports. However, some say that because the Supreme Court did not address the disclosure issue, the FEC should not either.
