Matt was kind enough to mention Colorado Confidential's investigative report in his post today on How the Right-wing Machine Works
Here's more of the story: On Friday, Colorado Confidential.com broke the news story that one of the most influential pro-GOP 527 organizations in the country -- founded by beer baron Pete Coors, Gov. Bill Owens, and oilman Bruce Benson -- has engaged in a curious series of financial transactions that literally don't add up. Contributions to other political committees that Trailhead claims in its IRS filings are not found on the recipient's books, and contributions from those committees back to Trailhead either don't match Trailhead's records or don't appear at all. And on one occasion, a contribution was made to an organization for which Colorado Confidential can find no record of existence. See Trailhead to Nowhere for more information.Today, we uncover several new factors which have come to light including two complaints that were filed against Trailhead and its mathematically-challenged 527 kinfolk this afternoon.
