Who Are The Mystery Donors?

It has been reported that Jennifer Brunner, Ohio's secretary of state, wants to find out who is funding a group which is trying to derail the effort to bring video lottery terminals to the state's seven racetracks

.

According to NBC's Columbus affiliate, the organizers of letohiovote.org have been subpoenaed.

Brunner wants to find out who is supplying $1.55 million in funding to the organization, which is pushing for a public referendum on the issue. The report states that the monies come from the Virginia-based corporation New Models, which does not disclose donors

The article states that a spokesman for letohiovote.org has said that campaign finance laws have been fully abided by and that any "fishing expedition" would certainly waste tax dollars and time.
