From AZCapitolTimes:

Arizona’s elections chief says the state needs to overhaul a portion of its campaign finance laws to maintain an informed electorate after the nation’s top court gave corporations the ability to pay for political advertisements.

“I think part of being an informed voter is knowing as much about the candidates as possible, and any other voices that start to weigh in,” said Secretary of State Ken Bennett.

Bennett is pushing for a change to the state’s campaign finance laws that would require corporations and labor unions to report expenditures above certain amounts.
