W.Va. Senate approves campaign spending bill
March 13, 2010 3:42 PM

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
Donors to political campaigns would be required to make more information about themselves public under a bill backed by the state Senate.



The Senate voted along party lines Saturday to advance the measure, with the majority Democrats prevailing. The bill is the third attempt by the Legislature to further regulate campaign cash in West Virginia. Two previous bids have been stalled by court actions.

Supporters of the new measure say it has a better chance in court because it brings state law into compliance with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that opened the door to greater campaign spending by companies and unions.

The House of Delegates already passed the measure, but will get another look at it since the Senate made minor changes.
