A new bill with bipartisan support at the Colorado legislature would clarify the amount of money political nonprofits can spend on ballot measures before they must disclose their donors. The bill would make political nonprofits disclose donors only if more than 30% of their total spending over three years goes toward multiple ballot measures. Donors can also stay under wraps if support goes to only one ballot measure and that spending remains below 20% of the group’s total expenditures over three years. Journalism Resident Margaret Fleming talks to data reporter Sandra Fish about these dark-money groups and the bill that cleared the state Senate, but lacks the support of the Secretary of State.
