“It’s ‘bad-penny’ time in the Maine legislature, as in ‘back like a’: a bill threatening the privacy of political donors. LD951, introduced and foiled in the previous session, would force nonprofit organizations that take a position on policy measures ‘to not only report their donors, but their donors’ donors,’ which Philanthropy Roundtable compares to legislation in Arizona that did become law — a law now being challenged in court. Like Arizona’s law, LD951 would impose cumbersome regulations and steep fines while obstructing free speech and free association. The obviously intended result being for nonprofits to not take such positions.” (03/28/25)
