Seymour To Reveal Finances

Coeur d’Alene school board candidate Terri Seymour said she plans to voluntarily report campaign contributions. A new law, passed by the Legislature this year, will require school board candidates in districts with more than 500 students to start reporting their campaign contributions. While that law does not go into effect until after this year’s school board elections on May 19, Seymour wants to adhere to the spirit of the law. “Ever since I have been on the school board, I have strived for transparency,” she said, adding she has not talked with her opponent about doing the same. “I haven’t talked with her,” she said. “I haven’t even met her yet.” Tambra Pickford is challenging Seymour, who is the incumbent. She said she was not planning to disclose her contributions because the law doesn’t go into effect until July 1/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
