Scott Taylor in the Deseret news speaks to the Church's oversight in campaign finances.
Scott Taylor, "Mormon Church agrees to pay small fine for mistake that led to late report of contributions in Prop. 8 campaign," Deseret News, June 9, 2010, accessed April 29, 2021
"All institutional contributions made by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the ProtectMarriage Coalition were reported to the appropriate authorities in California," said Scott Trotter, LDS Church spokesman. "In the last two weeks leading up to the election, the Church mistakenly overlooked the daily reporting requirement and instead reported those contributions together in a later filing."
