Special Interests in California promote Prop. R

The L.A. Daily News reports:

Special interests, including companies run by Staples Center owner Philip Anschutz, are bankrolling a campaign that's raised $144,500 so far in support of a November ballot measure that would give City Council members an extra term in office.

Divisions of billionaire Anschutz's AEG have been among the largest contributors with their $25,000 total donations in support of Proposition R, according to campaign finance filings released Thursday.

The Los Angeles Police Protective League PAC has added another $25,000, with tens of thousands of dollars more from a law firm and others with city business. Former Mayor Richard Riordan contributed $10,000, according to the records.
