Primary Battle Enlivens House Fight Over Candidate Fees
The House rejected attempts to penalize the poor by denying a bill that would impose fees on candidates at the primary. Delegates debated long ballots and revenue needs while voting down a motion to kill the bill. A proposed one percent fee on salaries for federal and state offices, and a half percent for county posts, drew strong opposition and was defeated. An amendment to shield candidates from ballot printing while fees are paid was also rejected. A separate push to exempt legislators failed, with critics arguing lawmakers cannot afford the fees. The body ordered the State Auditor to provide data on school land commissioners.
