Technical Violations in School District Heat Contract
An editorial argues that state law on public contracts was violated by the school board when the district heated its building through the Lemmon Electric Light and Power Company without sealed bids or advertisement. It questions conflicts of interest, noting the Light Company secretary was also a school director who moved for payment of such bills, and calls for readers to weigh whether these acts were technical violations or principled breaches harming taxpayer interests. The piece urges eliminating such dual roles to protect district funds and uphold legal standards.
