In my home state of Virginia, public employee unions are specifically outlawed (for state and local governments, obviously, there is nothing Virginia can do about the feds).

I don’t see why they (hell ALL) couldn’t pass something along the lines of:
1) Donations of ANYTHING from non-voting capable entities is hereby illegal
2) No govt position may receive any contribution from outside of their representation zone (city for city, county for county seat, state for state\Fed)
3) All donations must be posted within 72 hours of their receipt and audits must be immediately available upon any request.
4) Any infringement of any part of this law will forfeit ones run and each violation will be assessed a fine of $1M (adjusted to inflation). More than 5 violations will also incur 6mo.\per in prison and a felony conviction.
That should clean-up the system a bit...
