Interesting to see the crocodile tears from Publicola and the State Labor Council over the failure of the State Senate to pass a campaign finance bill that would have increased public disclosure of campaign donations, lamenting how pro-business groups sometimes come together to oppose liberal initiatives.
While their public interest is certainly commendable, these groups could perhaps be taken more seriously if they had spent any time lamenting the secrecy of the Progress Alliance of Washington, which has funneled millions into liberal non-profits and campaigns since 2006, and was only outed by the media earlier this year.
Maybe Publicola could take a look at the Progress Alliance’s financing, if, of course, they have not been the beneficiaries of the liberal largesse.
