the Colorado Secretary of State's office has given the initial go-ahead for an investigation into a campaign finance complaint alleging Google co-founder Sergey Brin's charitable foundation made a dark money campaign finance donation supporting a ballot initiative that would have greatly restricted new oil and gas drilling in that state.

The complaint filed by a former Republican staffer alleges Brin's foundation made a campaign donation to Colorado Rising, a political issue committee supporting Prop 112, which asked voters to approve significantly greater setback distances that new oil and gas rigs would have to be placed from "vulnerable" infrastructure such as schools and hospitals.
