Call it the anti-Don Blankenship bill.

A committee of legislators is drafting legislation to limit independent spending for or against a candidate, like the $2.4 million Massey Energy Co. CEO Blankenship gave to one group to help defeat state Supreme Court Justice Warren McGraw.

The draft bill would limit at $2,000 the contributions any one person could give to a group making an “electioneering communication” close to an election.

fantastic--hope other states and the feds adopt this
