In Utah, as you file for a state office, you disclose your conflicts of interest. Then, periodically throughout the campaign, you file disclosures revealing who is donating and how much they are donating.
Ever wonder what would happen if we moved the whole "transparency" process right to the point of the legislators introducing legislation? I just wonder what would happen if legislators were required to say which campaign contributors would be affected by the proposed legislation? And, which lobbyists approached them about the legislation?
This could be a barrel of fun.
