 Californians need to know who's paying for politics
I liked your May 9 editorial, "California needs bill to rid
campaign ads of anonymity." It's high time we brought
political ads out of the dark ages with clear disclosure of
who's paying for them with SB 52, the California DISCLOSE
Act. Political ads are self-serving, but many of them don't
even tell us who the "self" is. "Californians Against
Taxes" could be entirely funded by two billionaires, but
you'd never know it by watching the ads. SB 52 would change
that by requiring the top three funders of proposition ads
and SuperPAC ads to be clearly and prominently shown on the
ads themselves.
