Is a vote for kids a vote for a governor?
It would seem that the campaigning in California is not only expensive, but pimpled with workarounds that allow candidates to use contributions to ballot measures to further their own careers.
Detailed closing of loopholes doesn't seem to cut down on the use of political contributions in questionable ways, but it does at least provide a detailed trail to follow. The larger the number of intentional actions taken by politicians to cover their tracks, the easier it will be to bring out an itemized list and show a firm history of unethical moves on the part of those campaigning for office with a decided intent to deceive voters.
