James Huntsman wants the public to know some of the financial secrets that he says led a California court last fall to reject his accusations of fraud against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Former member says public has a right to know how tax-exempt groups spend donations as legal tussle continues at appellate court.

The sealed information in question doesn’t reveal “propriety trade secrets or corporate strategy,” Huntsman’s attorneys noted. Instead, the documents “merely purport to show the source of funds used to develop the City Creek mall,” the upscale shopping center in downtown Salt Lake City, and that information, they wrote, should be public.

Attorneys for the Utah-based faith counter that Huntsman’s arguments are legally flawed as they battle to keep the disclosures away from public eyes.
