Judge won't suspend corporate disclosure in Minn.

A judge has rejected another attempt to suspend a Minnesota law requiring disclosure of corporate political spending.

U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank on Tuesday denied a motion to lift the disclosure requirements while three groups appeal his earlier decision not to interfere with the state law.

Frank's order says the groups haven't made a strong case for suspending the law.

Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, the Taxpayers League of Minnesota and a travel company are trying to overturn the law on free-speech grounds. The latest order doesn't keep them from pursuing a full appeal.
