“California businessman pushes ballot measure for NASCAR-style disclosure”

Carla Marinucci for Politico:

Business executive John Cox, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House and Senate in Illinois, has moved one step closer to placing an initiative on the ballot that would require state legislators to wear the emblems of their top donors.

Cox is the sponsor of a landmark campaign finance initiative which would require all California state legislators to wear the logos of their biggest donors in a fashion that’s readily visible to voters — not unlike shirts worn by NASCAR drivers, which display their sponsors.

Yeah, this would raise some serious constitutional issues if it qualified and passed.
