Liberal fundraising giant MoveOn.org raised more than $50,000 for Vermont’s Food Fight Fund, designed by lawmakers this year to help pay for the state’s defense of its law requiring the labeling of foods that use genetically modified ingredients. Sarah Clark of the Vermont Department of Finance and Management said the state received a $53,000 check from MoveOn.
“Essentially, with that donation, the fund doubled,” she said.
Whereas donors who give directly to the fund can be known because of public records law, MoveOn is not required to follow the same transparency requirements, meaning the original source of half of the money in the food fight fund is unknown.
