Ducey against initiative to halt ‘dark money’

Gov. Doug Ducey signaled his opposition to a new initiative to forbid anonymous funding of political campaigns, saying it would interfere with the ability of people to participate in campaigns without fear.
“I’ve always been a fan of more transparency,’’ the governor said Wednesday. And Ducey said his own campaigns have always complied with what’s required under Arizona law.
But Ducey said there’s a valid reason to allow people to contribute anonymously to efforts to ensure that some people are elected and others are not.
