State Rep. Margaret Donnelly, a candidate for Attorney General, is threatening legal action against the Missouri Ethics Commission over its plans to hold closed hearings to determine which campaigns would face "hardships" by being forced to return large campaign contributions.

"The people of Missouri are fed up with government behind closed doors," said Donnelly. "If the Missouri Ethics Commission goes forward with its plans for closed hardship hearings, I will file suit and ask the courts to force them into compliance."
The Missouri Ethics Commission notified candidates that they must respond to the commission by November 26 if they have returned or are planning to return over-the-limit contributions. Candidates wanting to keep over-the-limit contributions must respond by December 3. Donnelly returned over-the-limit contributions last quarter, leaving her campaign with considerably less cash on-hand than her Democratic opponents.

here's the thing, candidates mainly support the ones who support them.
in any nation the interests of the business sector comes first because it's the business sector that's providing the population with essential resources (food, clothes, shelter, gadgets, etc.)
So when you look at who gets most of the federal state and municipal bills passed for them you will see that the ones who get the most from the government are the ones who bribe the poticians the most.
