Gov. Bill Lee says he will sign legislation requiring “dark-money” groups that contribute to political campaigns to disclose their expenditures before elections. “I think that transparency’s a good idea,” Lee told Tennessee Lookout recently. The governor said he supports the bill in spite of opposition from some 501(c) groups. Opponents say the bill is an overreach and “improperly blurs the lines between election transparency and non-political, non-profit activity.”
