Cody Oliphant: GOP's unaccountability proposal

Wisconsin's legislative right wing seems to have a serious problem with the rights of people in Wisconsin.

With all the Gov. Scott Walker power grabs, Republican incumbent protection measures and anti-democratic voter disenfranchisement acts being rammed through the Capitol these days, it's not surprising that a powerful state Senate Republican has hatched yet another unnecessary, non-job creating proposal that serves the interests of his GOP colleagues' elections and the corporate special interests that underwrite them.

Under current state law, donors to political campaigns and committees are required to disclose basic employer information if a donation of $100 or more is made. This information is made readily available to all Wisconsin constituents and taxpayers, and is a necessary check on political candidates, elected officials and corporate interests.

Of course, Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, is proposing an end to all this, and it's no wonder why.
