The Colorado Sun: Colorado state lawmakers would have to report who is donating to their caucuses and how they are spending that money under a bill brought in the wake of a dark money-funded retreat attended by a group of Democrats.
Senate Bill 108 would require caucuses, committees, clubs and other groups of lawmakers to file monthly reports with nonpartisan legislative staff detailing all money they received, accepted or spent. The reports would then be posted online.
The bill appears to be a peacemaking gesture among Democrats who have been sparring over the October retreat at a hotel in Vail, which was hosted by the Opportunity Caucus and attended by lobbyists. The caucus is made up of more moderate members of the legislature, and more liberal lawmakers see it as an electoral threat because of the caucus’s funding from a group that is heavily involved in Democratic primaries.
