“Time to shed light on disclosure bill”

David Keating and Eric Wang: “For a bill supposedly about “disclosure,” Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) gave surprisingly few details about their Follow the Money Act in their POLITICO op-ed, (“Shedding Light on Anonymous Ads,” May 13). While they wrote in broad generalities about requiring “full transparency on the part of independent political spenders,” they had already articulated that principle in a Washington Post op-ed last December. Five months later, they now have a completed bill pending in the Senate yet shy away from discussing the legislative details. What are they hiding?”
