This is insanity, even in a state with no campaign contribution limits. Who benefits? Not the voters.
If past behavior is any indicator:
Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission to a state pass through PAC from a Washington, D.C. republican PAC:
C161011 10/15/2016 REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION – MISSOURI REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION 1747 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. STE. 250 WASHINGTON DC 20006 10/13/2016 $4,000,000.00
[emphasis added]
$4,000,000.00. Ponder that for just a second. Then, with a straight face, try to tell anyone that Democracy isn’t for sale.
And we still don’t know who wrote the check(s) to raise that money. So much for transparencey, eh?
They deserve to lose for this obscenity.
