A nearly five-year legal battle over a Democratic group’s campaign contributions is ending.

The contributions came in the form of attack ads against Republican Attorney General Tom Horne during the 2010 attorney general’s race.

An appeals court says the ads from the Committee for Justice and Fairness were not exempt issue advocacy and the group was therefore required to disclose its contributors.  That decision was upheld in April by the state Supreme Court.

The Arizona Capitol Times is reporting the contributors have now been named. That comes after the Maricopa County Attorney’s office announced earlier this month it planned to pursue contempt charges against the group if it failed to do so. 

The committee says it got about $942,000 dollars from the Democratic Attorneys General Association.  It says it spent about $774,000 of that on the ads targeting Horne.
