House Bill 10-1272 would set contribution limits of $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for small donor committees to any candidates for school board seats and the RTD board of directors. The measure comes on the heels of extremely high spending school board races last year in Denver and Douglas County. Rep. Beth McCann and Sen. Pat Steadman, both Denver Democrats, are the sponsors.
