No Longer a Ban on PAC-to-PAC Transfers

Leave it to our state senators to muck up the ban…

Mitchell’s version prohibits PAC-to-PAC transfers, but it no longer defines political parties or legislative caucuses as PACs. That means a PAC could give to a legislative caucus, the caucus could mingle the money with other donations from individuals and PACs, and then could give money to a candidate.

“We’re fooling the public into thinking we are closing loopholes when we are creating another one,” Sen. Larry Dixon, R-Montgomery, said.

Dixon said he expects an explosion of legislative caucuses, which will be used to disguise campaign donations.

Sen. Pat Lindsey, D-Butler, agreed there will be many.

“Put a sign on his head and say, ‘I’m a caucus,’” he told McLaughlin.

My state senator (Senator Dixon) is exactly right, they’re very good at appearing to close one loophole while opening up another. This is just ridiculous.
