The donor list was not "leaked" and Eich was not "outted." Donations to CA ballot propositions has been public information since the 1970s, when voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot initiative in response to the Watergate scandal. http://www.fppc.ca.gov/the-law.html http://www.fppc.ca.gov/the-law.html Even leaving overlapping federal law aside, in CA, where Democrats have a permanent majority for the foreseeable future, it is beyond unlikely that such transparency rules will change. If anything, it seems more likely that we'll increase transparency around SuperPacs, rather than the reverse. After all, isn't more accountability better than less?
And, yes, as it turns out, historically, we've only ever permitted certain kinds of people to be CEOs. They are also not chosen--or removed--democratically. But this is way off-topic.
