I don't know the local politics at all, so it may not help if the local guys are literally paid for. But, you could put pressure on the companies with an "issue advocacy" campaign. It's kind of a hybrid PR, political, earned media and grassroots campaign. You can do this either with very little work and a lot of money, or a lot of work and very little money.
I've been a campaign consultant for 19 years, and I'd be happy to advise you for free, write a campaign plan, etc.
I make a living doing this for people that I sort-of kind-of agree with, which is why I don't sleep at night, which is why you see my posts at really messed-up hours. It would be nice to help a good cause.
