Russian Hackers Find Ready Bullhorns in the Media
New York Times – Max Fisher | Published: 1/8/2017

Reporters have always relied on sources who provide critical information for self-interested reasons. The duty is to publicize information that serves the public interest without falling prey to the source’s agenda. But in 2016, the source was Russia’s military intelligence agency – operating through shadowy fronts who worked to mask that fact – and its agenda was to undermine the American presidential election. By releasing documents that would tarnish Hillary Clinton and other U.S. political figures, but whose news value compelled coverage, Moscow exploited the very openness that is the basis of a free press.

DOJ Watchdog Opens Review of Comey’s Clinton Email Investigation
Politico – Josh Gerstein | Published: 1/12/2017

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog will investigate FBI Director James Comey’s decision to publicly release information about the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material. The inquiry by the department’s inspector general will focus on whether “policies or procedures were not followed” when Comey held a July 5 news conference to discuss the case, and when he sent letters to Congress just before the election that disclosed his agents were reviewing newly discovered emails pertinent to the Clinton case. Some in Clinton’s campaign blamed Comey’s actions for halting her momentum shortly before the election and helping in Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

How a Sensational, Unverified Dossier Became a Crisis for Donald Trump
New York Times – Scott Shane, Nicholas Confessore, and Matthew Rosenberg | Published: 1/11/2017

As they prepared to brief President Obama and President-elect Donald Trump on Russian interference in the 2016 election, U.S. intelligence officials decided to mention the salacious allegations that Moscow had compromising information on the incoming president. That triggered coverage of allegations that news organizations had tried to run down for months but could find no basis for publishing until they were summarized and included alongside a classified report assembled by the nation’s intelligence services. Parts of the story remain out of reach – most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier is true. But it is possible to piece together a rough narrative of what led to the current crisis, including lingering questions about the ties binding Trump and his team to Russia.

Trump Won’t Drop Business Ties
Politico – Josh Dawsey and Darren Samuelsohn | Published: 1/11/2017

Donald Trump, insisting he will not divest himself of his vast business empire as he prepares to assume the presidency, plans instead to turn over all of his business operations to a trust controlled by his two oldest sons and a longtime associate. He will donate to the U.S. government all profits from foreign government payments to his hotels. The Trump Organization will also refrain from entering into any new deals with foreign partners, backing off from an earlier claim by Trump that his company would have “no new deals” of any kind during his presidency. The business will have to clear any new transactions with an ethics adviser. The moves fell short of the recommendations of ethics experts who have said the only way for Trump to genuinely eliminate potential conflicts is to place all his real estate holdings and other ventures in a blind trust over which neither he nor his family has any control.

California – How This Former Aspiring Screenwriter Became One of California’s Campaign Finance Experts After Losing His Day Job
Los Angeles Times – Christine Mai-Duc | Published: 1/9/2017

Three years ago, Rob Pyers was as far away from politics as one could imagine: a college dropout who had been laid off from his job, binge-watching Netflix to pass the time. Today, from his one-bedroom apartment in West Hollywood, Pyers anchors one of the most trusted compendiums on state politics and is becoming the ultimate insider in the often-opaque world of campaign finance. His passion for organizing massive amounts of data has transformed the California Target Book and made his Twitter feed a go-to resource for some of Sacramento’s top operatives.

California – L.A. Politicians Propose Banning Campaign Contributions from Developers
Los Angeles Times – David Zahniser and Emily Alpert Reyes | Published: 1/10/2017

A group of Los Angeles City Council members proposed banning contributions to council campaigns from developers with projects currently or recently before the city. The motion also would consider whether to expand the city’s definition of developer to include building contractors and subcontractors, and whether to increase the enforcement staff at the city Ethics Commission to ensure more frequent audits and inspections. With the council approval of the motion, it is now up to the ethics panel and other city staff to craft implementing ordinances to bring back to the council in coming months.

Colorado – Denver Council Approves Gift-Report Rules That Require More Frequency, Better Access
Denver Post – Jon Murray | Published: 1/9/2017

The Denver City Council voted in favor of requiring more frequent reporting, more detail, and easier-to-access records of the meals, tickets, and most other gifts they receive from donors with a city interest. The new rules replace a system of annual reporting in which those gifts and other financial disclosures were not viewable by the public until seven months after the end of the reporting period, and could be obtained only by visiting the clerk’s office and paying for copies. The ordinance was one of three ethics measures considered by the council in recent months. It approved another proposal that will make lobbyists’ registrations and bimonthly reports of spending on city lobbying activities available online.

Connecticut – CT’s Largest Lobbying Firms Led by Women
HartfordBusiness.com – Patricia Daddona | Published: 1/9/2017

Paddi LeShane is an equal partner with Patrick Sullivan running Connecticut’s third largest lobbying firm – Sullivan & LeShane Inc. – with 47 registered clients. But she is not the only high-profile woman lobbyist running her own shop. In a profession long-dominated by men, women operate three of the five largest lobbying firms in Connecticut, based on number of registered clients, and their presence at the Capitol is growing. In fact, women lobbyists are far from an anomaly in the government relations field these days, industry experts say.

Kentucky – Report: Beshear officials shook down 16 workers
Louisville Courier-Journal – Tom Loftus | Published: 1/11/2017

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s investigation of former Gov. Steve Beshear’s administration has found state employees were solicited for campaign contributions both during and after working hours. The investigators interviewed 16 non-merit employees from six departments in the Beshear administration. Witnesses said “virtually all non-merit employees” in the executive branch were expected to make a financial contribution, according to the report. Kentucky law forbids specifically targeting state employees for campaign donations, unless the solicitation is part of a larger plan that includes non-state employees.

Maryland – Federal Bribery Charges Filed over Prince George’s County Liquor Licenses
Washington Post – Lynh Bui, Ann Marimow, and Arelis Hernandez | Published: 1/5/2017

Federal investigators disclosed that two Maryland lawmakers, one now out of office, are targets of a public corruption probe and expected to be charged in a bribery scheme that already has resulted in charges against two Prince George’s County liquor board officials and two business owners. The two lawmakers were unnamed in federal affidavits that outlined a bribery conspiracy in which officials were paid for favorable liquor license actions. Among those charged were David Dae Sok Son, the liquor agency’s administrator. Son solicited and facilitated bribes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 from lobbyists and business owners, according to prosecutors. It is alleged that Son facilitated payments to an elected official for help moving a business to the county and grants the official controlled.

Massachusetts – City Hall Promised Lobbying Reform. Nothing Happened.
Boston Globe – Mark Arsenault and Andrew Ryan | Published: 1/9/2017

A year after Boston Mayor Martin Walsh promised that regulations governing municipal lobbyists would be a priority, no plan has been approved. Since February, the initiative has sat untouched in a city council committee without a hearing. Wash and council leaders may have said they supported new lobbying rules, but it appears none of them made an effective effort to follow through. That means corporations and interest groups continue to employ lobbyists to quietly influence city government with practically no public scrutiny.

Missouri – Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley Announces New Ethics Policy
Kansas City Star – Jason Hancock | Published: 1/10/2017

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley banned his employees from accepting gifts from lobbyists. Hawley also will not accept campaign contributions from anyone who has a pending bid or application for state contract on which the attorney general’s office has decision-making authority. The new ethics policy comes one day after Gov. Eric Greitens signed an executive order banning state workers in the executive branch from accepting lobbyist gifts. It is unclear whether Greitens’ order is actually enforceable.

New York – AG Will Hold Off on Enforcing Parts of Lobbying Disclosure Law
Albany Times Union – Chris Bragg | Published: 1/12/2017

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will not enforce certain parts of a new state ethics law requiring charitable organizations that give money to lobbying campaigns to disclose more of their donors while a federal lawsuit moves through the courts. One provision that is affected would require 501(C)3 charities to report their sources of funding when the group makes an in kind contribution or donation in excess of $2,500 to a 501(c)(4). The other provision mandates 501(c)(4) groups that spend more than $10,000 a year on any public policy communications report the name and address of donors who give $1,000 or more.

Pennsylvania – Calls Turn Developers into Donors for Peduto
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – Rich Lord | Published: 1/8/2017

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto is making a bid for a second term, with no announced challenger. Like incumbents past, he has filled a campaign account in part by collecting from people who do business with the city. Pittsburgh’s top development official has asked developers to contribute to Peduto’s campaign, in a series of calls the administration contends were devoid of deal-making, but which others said are at odds with the spirit of reform the mayor once championed.

South Carolina – Merrill Indictment Casts Pall Over Opening of SC Legislature
The State – Avery Wilks | Published: 1/9/2017

As the South Carolina Legislature reconvenes, the top issues will include fixing the state’s roads and addressing an underfunded pension system. But a corruption investigation will cast a pall over the proceedings, raising a host of other issues. Two indictments during the past month mean the Republican-controlled Legislature will start its session without a pair of GOP legislators. Rep. Chris Corley was suspended after he was indicted on criminal domestic abuse charges. Rep. Jim Merrill was suspended after he was indicted on charges of using his public office to pocket at least $1.3 million from outside interest groups. Watchdogs say the behavior alleged in Merrill’s indictment is not all that unique at the statehouse and more indictments could be on the way.

One Person, One Algorithm, One Vote: Campaigns are doing more with data, for better or worse
Capital Times – Katelyn Farrell | Published: 1/3/2017

After an election where political campaigns were blamed or credited for relying on voter data to an unprecedented degree, Young Mie Kim, a professor and researcher at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication, is studying how campaigns used that data across the country. Much like how businesses market products, political campaigns are increasingly focusing on sophisticated data-driven calculations, used to persuade voters and get them to the polls. Those predictions inform campaign strategy and often dictate how a candidate interacts with the electorate.

House Republicans, Under Fire, Back Down on Gutting Ethics Office
New York Times – Eric Lipton and Matt Flegenheimer | Published: 1/3/2017

House Republicans abruptly withdrew a proposal to weaken an ethics watchdog in a rocky start to the new Congress. The 115th session had not even formally gaveled in before House leaders held an emergency meeting to discuss blowback against the GOP’s vote to eviscerate the independent the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE). The reversal came hours after President-elect Donald Trump issued a series of tweets questioning the timing of the changes, which would put the OCE under oversight of the House Committee on Ethics. Even before Trump weighed in, a barrage of negative headlines and public outcry made it difficult for Republicans to stand by the measure.

House Votes to Require Disclosure of Presidential Library Donations
The Hill – Megan Wilson and Cristina Marcos | Published: 1/4/2017

The U.S. House passed a bill that would give the public a better view of donations going to presidential libraries. It is the fourth time since 2002 that the House has approved the bipartisan legislation, known as the Presidential Library Donation Reform Act. The bill has died in the Senate each time it has been introduced. The bill would require quarterly disclosure of donations to presidential libraries totaling $200 or more. While lobbyists and organizations that hire them must file semi-annual reports listing all political donations, which include any financial or in-kind gifts to presidential library nonprofits, those foundations are not required to disclose their donors. Lawmakers of both parties said letting the public know who is donating to outgoing presidents’ libraries would shine light on potential “pay-to-play” attempts.

Rep. Duncan Hunter’s Team Responds to Uproar Over Rabbit Expenses
Yahoo News – Michael Walsh | Published: 1/4/2017

U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter spent $600 of his campaign funds in “cabin rabbit transport fees.” The pet travel was part of $62,000 in personal or not properly documented campaign expenses that Hunter has reimbursed his campaign for. The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) conducted a review of Hunter’s campaign spending last year. According to Hunter spokesperson Joe Kasper, there was “no intent” by Hunter to misuse campaign funds on personal matters. Hunter’s team intentionally floated the rabbit story to demonstrate how, from its perspective, the OCE has misconstrued simple mistakes as unethical conduct.

Trump and Julian Assange, an Unlikely Pair, Unite to Sow Hacking Doubts
New York Times – Scott Shane | Published: 1/4/2017

President-elect Donald Trump recently tweeted praise for a man most Republicans wanted nothing to do with – Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. It was not the first time Trump had praised WikiLeaks. During his campaign for president, he highlighted emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Since then, Trump has continued praising the radical transparency group, harshly criticized by President Obama and other officials for what they describe as damaging national security leaks. And Trump has been in sync with conservative media, once critical of WikiLeaks, which increasingly embraces Assange as a hero.

Trump to Face Sworn Deposition in Coming Days
Politico – Josh Gerstein | Published: 1/5/2017

With President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in fast approaching, many of the high-profile lawsuits that entangled him during the campaign are all but certain to carry on through his inauguration and into his tenure at the White House, and he will even inherit some new ones. Trump and his companies face scores of pending lawsuits, including cases claiming skimming of tips at his New York SoHo hotel, seeking refunds of millions of dollars in membership fees charged by his country club in Jupiter, Florida, and alleging his security personnel assaulted protesters outside Trump Tower. And in a bizarre twist, Trump’s Justice Department will find itself defending against a slew of lawsuits relating to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Alabama – Governor Bentley Has Former Rep. Terry Spicer Removed from State Job
Dothan Eagle; Staff – | Published: 1/4/2017

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley says a former state representative, who pleaded guilty to bribing a lobbyist, will no longer work at a state liquor store. Bentley said he told his chief of staff to advise the Alcohol Beverage Control Board that former Rep. Terry Spicer will not be employed. Spicer pleaded guilty in 2011 to taking cash and a ski vacation from a lobbyist. Spicer, a former school superintendent and community college employee, needs more time in state employment to draw his pension.

Arkansas – Arkansas State Legislator Neal Pleads Guilty in Kickbacks Scheme
Arkansas Online – Doug Thompson | Published: 1/5/2017

Arkansas Rep. Micah Neal pleaded guilty to directing state funds to two nonprofit organizations in exchange for kickbacks. As part of his plea, Neal admitted that between January 2013 and January 2015, while serving in the House, he conspired with a state senator to use their official positions to appropriate budget surplus funds, known as General Improvement Fund money, to two nonprofit organizations in exchange for bribes. The unnamed state senator involved is described in court documents as serving “in the Arkansas Senate from 2013 to the present. Prior to his service in the Arkansas Senate, Senator ‘A’ serves as a representative in the Arkansas House of Representative from 2007 to 2012.” Four members of the state Senate have political careers that fit that description.

California – Political Donations Flow as Rick Caruso Seeks Approval for a 20-Story Tower Near the Beverly Center
Los Angeles Times – David Zahniser | Published: 12/28/2016

Real estate developer Rick Caruso has been a reliable benefactor at Los Angeles City Hall, giving big donations to the city’s politicians and their pet causes. Now, Caruso wants the mayor and city council to approve a 20-story residential tower on a site where new buildings are currently limited to a height of 45 feet. Opponents of the project view Caruso’s political contributions with alarm, saying the steady stream of money has undermined their confidence in the city’s planning process.

Florida – Ron Book Is Big Winner in Local Government Lobbying Contracts
Miami Herald – Steve Bousquet | Published: 1/3/2017

The Florida House is now posting copies of contracts between lobbyists and local governments online and nearly half of the first set of contracts posted are with Ron Book, who has been a fixture in the halls of the Capitol for four decades and has built local government lobbying work into a cottage industry in the state. Lobbyists hired to represent local governments often get unparalleled access to the powerful because they make campaign contributions, which cities and counties cannot do.

Indiana – State Senator Introduces Ethics Bill to Ban All Gifts from Lobbyists
WTHR – Bob Segall | Published: 1/3/2017

Indiana Sen. Mike introduced a bill that would make it illegal for lawmakers to accept a gift from a lobbyist. Gifts prohibited by the proposed legislation would include anything that has value, such as tickets to athletic events, and anything that may be classified as entertainment. The bill would also require lobbyists to keep a public log of all communication with lawmakers, and lobbyists would have to update those logs frequently. Texts and emails between lobbyists and state lawmakers would for the first time become public records.

Missouri – Missouri Campaign Contribution Limits Remain in Place After Latest Hearing
St. Louis Post-Dispatch – Kurt Erickson | Published: 12/29/2016

In a federal court hearing, opponents of a new Missouri law limiting campaign contributions withdrew a request to block the caps. U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Perry said she wants to first hear arguments about the merits and pitfalls of the new limits before deciding whether to place a temporary hold on the caps while the lawsuit moves through the legal system. Under the change to the state constitution, Missouri voters capped donations to individual candidates at $2,600 per election. Maximum contributions to a political party would be set at $25,000.

Montana – Montana Fails to Retain Decades of Emails Despite Open Government Law
The Missoulian – Jayme Fraser | Published: 1/2/2017

The state archives are supposed to be the final destination for the most important records about Montana government and how leaders made their decisions. Experts say the fact that no emails are saved there is a sign something is wrong. They describe a two-pronged problem: agencies are deleting emails too soon and the archives do not have the storage or equipment to accept them. As a result, Montanans have lost decades of public information. Retention decisions are made by individual state agencies, and few of them have preserved emails consistently, if at all.

New York – Why Developers of Manhattan Luxury Towers Give Millions to Upstate Candidates
ProPublica.org – Cezary Podkul and Derek Kravitz (ProPublica), and Will Parker (The Real Deal) | Published: 12/30/2016

ProPublica and The Real Deal mapped contributions from limited liability companies and individuals tied to the 60 biggest developers of New York City rental properties receiving a lucrative state subsidy. While it has long been known that developers donate a lot of money to state elections, the analysis shows for the first time just how tactical the industry is about bankrolling candidates across the state that are friendly to its cause. The state oversees New York City’s system of capping rent increases, known as rent stabilization. By influencing state elections, developers have undermined rent stabilization and preserved a key tax break that saves them far more money than they spend on political campaigns.

South Carolina – South Carolina’s Pending Ethics Commission Isn’t All That Independent, Experts Say
Charleston Post and Courier – Maya Prabhu | Published: 1/3/2017

South Carolina lawmakers voted last year to create an eight-member Ethics Commission that will be appointed by April 1. While outside groups applauded the move in the wake of scandals in the state, others cautioned there is still room for politics to creep in. Many give South Carolina credit for taking a step, however small, toward having its suspect lawmakers investigated by a separate entity when accused of wrongdoing.
