Judge Suspends Law Limiting Contributions
KENTUCKY....
U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves has suspended a law limiting campaign contributions in Kentucky school board races to $100, making candidates in those races eligible for the $1,000 cap from individual contributors allowed in other races. Reeves ruled that the limit unconstitutionally restricts a candidate's right to free association. The ruling was in response to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of a college professor and one-time candidate for the school board in Louisville who claimed the limit was unconstitutional and hindered the right to free speech in a political campaign.
