Mormon church reports $190,000 Prop. 8 expenses

Remember Prop 8? Californians should be disgusted that the state constitution has been manipulated by out-of-state interests. The Mormon Church maintained that individual contributions funded the Prop 8 campaign, and the church didn't donate, but a piece in today's SF Chronicle begs to differ:

Mormon church officials, facing an ongoing investigation by the state Fair Political Practices Commission, Friday reported nearly $190,000 in previously unlisted assistance to the successful campaign for Prop. 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California.

The report, filed with the secretary of state's office, listed a variety of California travel expenses for high-ranking members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and included $20,575 for use of facilities and equipment at the church's Salt Lake City headquarters and a $96,849 charge for 'compensated staff time' for church employees who worked on matters pertaining to Prop. 8.
