Nonprofit feels heat since filing complaint against Rick Perry
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/columnists/wayne-slater/20140902-nonprofit-feels-heat-since-filing-complaint-against-rick-perry.eceWhen Rick Perry warned darkly that those behind his indictment “will be held accountable,” Craig McDonald felt a target on his back.
It wouldn’t be the first time.
McDonald heads the left-leaning nonprofit group Texans for Public Justice, which has rankled politicians in both parties for years by tracking campaign contributions with a ruthless efficiency to reveal big money in politics.
...
As for McDonald, he has long relied on foundations, advocates of campaign finance reform and trial lawyers for donations to keep his group going. The group has gone after both Republicans and Democrats, but its harshest critics have focused on GOP targets and say Texans for Public Justice is bankrolled by affiliates of George Soros, an investor and prominent Democratic donor.
In fact, McDonald said, many sources of funding have dried up. Nobody’s been paid recently. The group has less than $1,000 in the bank, he said, as it finds itself in the political cross hairs again.
