Also Roswell seeks a public relations director with a minimum $79,282 salary, to manage broader duties across police, tourism, and city communications.

The measure passed House committees but failed to reach the House floor amid questions of political will. Rep. Jim Dines supported the bill in committee yet opposed higher contribution caps. He noted a cooling-off lobbying period bill remains sidelined in a Senate committee. The measure passed 57 to 10 with broad public support and echoes from 31 other states.
