From ArgusLeader.com:
The candidates for South Dakota secretary of state both want more transparency when it comes to campaign finance reports, but they differ on whether there needs to be more openness in how the money from a particular group of Republican donors is spent.
Democratic state Sen. Ben Nesselhuf said that if he’s elected secretary of state, he will crack down on what he calls “political slush funds” and push to disclose how the Governor’s Club spends its money. The Governor’s Club is a Republican Party marketing effort that has been used to pay some nonbusiness expenses for GOP governors.
“The law is pretty clear, that every dollar into the political world is reported, and every dollar out needs to be reported,” Nesselhuf said.
