Where did the Audubon Nature Institute get the money it spent trying to persuade New Orleans voters to approve a property tax increase Saturday? How did Audubon spend its money? Who worked for the campaign?
Voters won’t know the answers to these questions until at least April 24, when Audubon files its first campaign finance report for the ballot proposition with the Louisiana Ethics Administration. That date is 40 days after the March 15 election.
Attorneys for the Audubon Nature Institute said Audubon isn’t required to file anything before then because it didn’t collect or spend any money before Feb.
