Rep. Roger Hunt continues to withhold the name of the anonymous donor who contributed $750,000 in last November's abortion fight. Argus Leader excerpt:
State Rep. Roger Hunt on Friday rejected Attorney General Larry Long's attempt to force him to reveal the name of a major campaign contributor in the 2006 state vote on an abortion ban.
South Dakota's campaign finance law violates Hunt's free speech rights, Hunt argues in court papers filed Friday. The law also is vague, he maintains.
Long subpoenaed Hunt in December in an attempt to force him to reveal the source of $750,000 in contributions to the Vote Yes for Life organization. The contributions were made through Hunt's corporation by someone he says is a South Dakota resident.Long has said Hunt violated campaign finance laws by not disclosing the donor's name.
