Amendment 54 would prohibit companies, unions, and their officers from making campaign contributions to a political party or a candidate if they have been awarded a sole source, no-bid contract by local or state government.
Supporters said this will ensure those who receive a no-bid contract will not influence the political process, it increases government transparency so the public can watch over the process, holds the elected officials accountable for receiving campaign money, and puts all companies on equal footing.
Opponents said this interferes with the individual's rights to donate to campaigns, is almost impossible to monitor, and will allow political insiders to manipulate the system and overturn valid elections.
