I find myself agreeing with the caping of donations at $30000 but also the public register of lobbyists is a fantastic addition. Get big influence out of our politics!

Didnt a bunch of these rules come in world wide due to the Panama Papers leak? you hear almost nothing about it but a whole bunch of laws about KYC came in from the panama papers investigation, its one of the reasons why trusts got a big nerf.

there is a whole bunch to dig into but this look like a good start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

It was around the same time. I'm not sure if there was a causal relationship.
