Idaho Freedom Foundation’s board member, Heather Lauer, tried to twist the truth and misstate my intentions. She wrote a quick response to my column last week, claiming I want to “expose and target Idaho residents who support charities, churches, or advocacy organizations.” NO, I do not. Current law does NOT require those donors to be publicly reported. Please let me restate this to be very clear: Under current law, donors to nonprofit groups in Idaho do NOT have their names reported to the public.
There’s a bold new strategy in Idaho politics: Avoid reporting donations. Idaho’s new People United for Privacy Foundation (PUFPF) wants increased privacy for donations to “protect free speech,” and by speech they mean money. This group is led by Heather Lauer, one of the founding, and still current, board members of the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF). “Without the new foundation,” Heather writes, “You and I are at risk of being exposed to politically motivated harassment.”
