LATEST: French: Panel to ‘contain’ campaign court decision
from The Juneau Empire: Corporations won’t have to disclose their spending for or against candidates this election year unless lawmakers force them to, a Senate committee concluded Wednesday. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Hollis French said he wants the panel to do just that, by putting forth a bill that would “contain” the effects of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that declared third-party corporate spending on such things as campaign ads as a form of protected free speech.
