I know the influence is real, so cutting off donations will only drive the influence further underground, where most of it (lobbying) already exists.

I recall a committee meeting where over 300 development industry representatives (Lobbyists) attended, signalling their displeasure at council proposing to raise development charges, they won a reprieve.

What this town really needs is a sheke-up at the ballot box, the voter participation rate is pathetic, to say the least.
