LDS Church gives $1 million to oppose Idaho Proposition 1
Original: LDS Church donates $1 million to fight Idaho’s Proposition 1
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has donated $1 million to the campaign against Idaho's Proposition 1, a ballot measure, according to reports from Idaho television stations. The contribution makes the church a major funder in the opposition effort ahead of the vote, and the size of the donation is drawing attention to the church's role in state ballot politics.
Why now: A large religious institution is openly spending heavily to influence a state ballot measure.
