A Phoenix-based nonprofit that advocates for public transportation in the city has filed a campaign finance complaint against the political committee behind a failed ballot measure aimed at ending the city’s future light rail plans.
An attorney working for Urban Phoenix Project, a 501(c)(3) organization, filed the complaint with the Phoenix City Clerk’s Office on Sept. 17. In the complaint, the group alleges that Building a Better Phoenix, the political committee that spearheaded Proposition 105, has inaccurately reported where tens of thousands of dollars of campaign cash came from.
The complaint cites Arizona Mirror reporting raising questions about the campaign filings.
Building a Better Phoenix filed campaign finance reports in April and August that identified Scot Mussi, the executive director of Arizona Free Enterprise Club, as the source of $40,000 in campaign contributions — a little less than 10% of the campaign’s overall campaign funding.
