Ysursa To Seek Pro-Prop Disclosure

Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa says he’s likely to demand that a group helping finance the campaign to save Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna’s education reforms reveal the names of its contributors, the AP reports. Education Voters of Idaho collected at least $200,000 to promote Luna’s reforms ahead of the Nov. 6 referendum, but says it doesn’t have to disclose donors because it’s a nonprofit organization under federal tax law. On Monday, Ysursa said the group has yet to provide a legal explanation for why it’s not a political action committee required by Idaho’s 1974 “Sunshine laws” to disclose donors ahead of the election. “It eviscerates the law if we don’t get disclosure,” Ysursa told the Associated Press. “We personally do not believe there’s a doubt here”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
