Remember the recent story about Clean Team Alaska dropping its public campaign in support of Proposition 1, the ballot measure that is alternately called an "anti-corruption initiative" or a "gag law," depending on who is reading its provisions? Well, there's more to the story. It's complicated, but according to the Anchorage Press, Clean Team Alaska was getting most of its funding from Alaskans for Open Government, which, in turn, was getting most of its funding from a Virginia-based group called Americans for Limited Government. Rather than tell the Alaska Public Offices Commission who its major donors were, Americans for Limited Government simply stopped sending money to the Alaska groups supporting the Prop. 1 campaign.
