The California Supreme Court is the next stop for a battle over the release of information about an $11 million donation from an Arizona group to proposition 30 and proposition 32 on the November 2012 state ballot.
A California Appeal court in Sacramento has refused to compel an Arizona group that donated $11 million to California proposition's 30 and 32, campaign to submit to an audit.?
It?s the latest twist in a legal battle over whether Arizona-based Americans for Responsible Leadership should have disclosed the names of donors who gave money to a campaign fighting Prop 30 ? Gov. Brown?s tax initiative ? and in support of Prop 32 ? a ban on payroll deductions for political contributions.
California?s Fair Political Practices Commission wants to see documents about the donation to determine if donors knew that the money was earmarked for a specific campaign. If they knew, California law requires their names be disclosed.
On Wednesday, a Superior Court Judge ordered Americans for Responsible Leadership to comply with the audit by 5 p.m. Thursday. Instead, the Arizona group appealed the decision ? and that put the audit on hold.
California officials asked the 3rd District Court of Appeal to lift the stay immediately, but the court refused. ??
The Fair Political Practices Commission said Friday they will take the case to California?s Supreme Court.
