The reason these shenanigans are permitted is because these entities donate large sums on money to establishment approved candidates of both political parties. You may like Hillary or Jeb because of thier stance on open borders or the XL pipeline but they won't give a rats behind about your childrens' water problems because they are already beholding to these millionaires and billionaires. That is why I encourage you to consider a non traditional candidate on either side.
I agree with most of the posters who say we should do something. I noted that these contracts have to be approved by the state. It appears to me that it would be the governor? I hope someone has some factual information about what to do. I'm ready to take action.
