A state lawmaker is pushing to make sure there’s no quid-pro-quo when it comes to school elections.
A state lawmaker is targeting local elections that cities and schools rely on to raise money for vital projects. One of Rep. Laurin Hendrix’s latest proposals could cut into a key funding source that supporters of bond and override elections count on to run effective campaigns.
HB2088 would prohibit anyone who donates in support of these campaigns from working on the projects they eventually pay for. For example, a contractor who contributes to help pass a school construction bond could not bid on any of the projects it funds.
