Africa: Who Pays for Politics? Tracing the Money Trail Online: [TI] Money fuels politics. But when it flows in the shadows, democracy is the first casualty. Across most of Africa, and much of the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, citizens are expected to vote without knowing who pays for the campaigns competing for their support. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TP732L #AfricaPolitics #CampaignFinance #Democracy #PoliticalTransparency #VoteSmart

Maine's voter-approved limit on PAC contributions triggers lawsuit in federal court

A pair of conservative groups are challenging a new Maine law that limits donations to political action committees that spend independently in candidate elections. The federal complaint filed on Friday was expected. Supporters of the recently approved referendum fully expected a legal showdown over caps on individual contributions to so-called super PACs. The lawsuit by two conservative groups contends the state law that limits individual donations to super PACs at $5,000 runs afoul of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. That 2010 decision opened the floodgates for big business and labor unions to spend freely on elections. Maine’s attorney general and the state’s campaign spending watchdog are named in the suit.
