About a dozen protesters, including a Scottsdale councilman, gathered in downtown Scottsdale on Monday to rally against hefty contributions made by Realtor groups supporting the city’s Nov. 5 bond election.
Realtor groups, including a national association, have doled out $100,000 to persuade voters to approve the bond funding for new projects.
Additionally, the Scottsdale city attorney has found the groups committed campaign finance violations that could cost one group upwards of $258,000 in fines.
On Monday morning, protesters demonstrated outside the Scottsdale Association of Realtors headquarters, near Third Avenue and Scottsdale Road, flashing signs that read “Keep Chicago Politics out of Scottsdale!” and “Where did the 100k really come from?”
