...and thank goodness!
PP's post this morning about campaign finance forms and conflcits of interest reminds me to go check the rules on campaign finance for school board elections. The Legislature passed quite an overhaul last year, and folks running for office should double check, make sure they're playing according to Hoyle.
Fortunately for the candidates in Madison's school board race, those rules don't apply here. The Secretary of State's website states that candidates for school board do have to file financial interest statements, but only in school districts with 2000+ students. Madison Central's fall 2007 enrollment: 1171.
But maybe it's not a bad idea, for the sake of complete transparency, to file a report -- even if not required by the law to do so.
