The Center for Media and Democracy
has filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service alleging that the Wisconsin Club for Growth violated its tax-exempt status by operating as a political committee in 2011 and 2012, and operated primarily for the private partisan benefit.
“WiCFG deprived Wisconsinites of their right to know who is really bankrolling the elections of our representatives, blocking the ability of the public and the press to track whether secret million-dollar donors later receive special treatment—and the evidence shows clearly that donating paid off for out-of-state corporate interests,” said Lisa Graves, Executive Director of the Center for Media and Democracy.
