In the case of Missourians Against Higher Utility Rates, the only way we'll ever know where the money came from is if the nonprofit formed this month eventually files the IRS forms required to show its donors. Many such nonprofits never file those forms. They dissolve. So does any trace of public accountability.
The last time Missourians Against Higher Utility Rates was involved in Missouri politics, all of its money came from Noranda Aluminum, a southeast Missouri smelter that has been battling Ameren Missouri's plans for a new nuclear plant.
Is the company suddenly shy about its campaign preferences? Voters might never know.
The Republicans who suddenly are angry about secret money are getting what they deserve for ignoring proposals to pass ethical campaign finance laws.
