Dozens of political action committees — and two super PACs — filed mandatory fundraising reports with the Vermont Secretary of State’s Office on October 15.
But not the Committee For Justice and Fairness — the super PAC whose $194,000 in advertising helped Attorney General Bill Sorrell beat back a primary challenge from Democrat T.J. Donovan this summer.
The D.C.-based super PAC did file its quarterly report with the Federal Election Commission this month, confirming that its funding came solely from the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) — in two payments of $100,000 each — and went almost entirely to support Sorrell’s bid for an eighth term in office.
According to Will Senning of the secretary of state’s office, the super PAC is required by law to file that portion of its federal disclosure form that relates to spending in Vermont elections — in this case, almost all of it. But Senning said that as of Wednesday, his office had received nothing.
Got something to say?

Hmm so Big Pharma, GMO bullys, and Wall Street not Main St. support Democratic Attorney Generals.
That has to make half the people in BTV heads explode.
Not to mention WallMart.
Surprise, surprise! Sorrell’s friends violate VT campaign finance law and Sorrell — the same guy who’s suing the Republican Governors Association for allegedly violating VT campaign finance laws — does absolutely nothing about it. Anyone surprised by our Hypocrite General?
So just for laughs I went to the AG’s website
http://www.atg.state.vt.us/
Didn’t see a “make a complaint” button but did try “Contact us”- it’s not working. Neither is the “How do I…” frequently asked question link. At the time, none of the buttons work. What moron designed this site? The answer is at the bottom of the page:
-Website consulting provided by The National Association of Attorneys General.
Oh.
NAAG is also known as, National Association of Aspiring Governors
