This article is for subscribers only.
Advocates of stronger campaign finance laws today challenged the tax-exempt status of political groups that Republican Karl Rove and Democrat Bill Burton helped set up, a move that could force them to disclose their donors.
The complaint to the Internal Revenue Service names Rove’s Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies and Burton’s Priorities USA. Rove, a former adviser to President George W. Bush, and Burton, a former aide to President Barack Obama, also have related political action committees that disclose their donors.
