This is a great example of why the way in which politicians raise money and how they are lobbied is corruptive.
This is a case where quite easily 80% of their constituency would applaud the change. But a minor set of companies with an ability to contribute large sums of money (for or against) is able to influence something like this passing.
Citizens United and similar SCOTUS cases have made it even that much more unlikely that the situation will be improved any time soon.
