Star editorial: Restore campaign contribution limits

In an editorial published Thursday, the Kansas City Star recommended the restoration of campaign contribution limits:

Missouri moved into dangerous territory by lifting caps on donations. Big donors bring big expectations. Why put taxpayers at risk of favors going to deep-pocket contributors? Or put politicians at risk of appearing to favor those donors?

Reasonable caps on individual donors must be reinstituted to avoid even the appearance of benefits flowing to the highest bidder
