It's no secret that politicians have strings attached to "political investors" and that 97 percent of campaign cash comes from contributors giving $100 or more. But while these generous spenders constitute only one quarter of one percent of California's population, 80 percent of funds for legislative seats in the 1994 general election came from outside the candidates' districts, according to the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPRIG). Since election laws have not changed in the past two years, there is little chance these numbers have dropped.
