Louisville, KY – A lawsuit challenging a law limiting campaign contributions in Kentucky school board races to $100 has been settled. U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves in Frankfort must still approve the agreement, which makes permanent an injunction barring the state from enforcing the $100 contribution limit to individual candidates in school board races. The parties in the case filed the settlement paperwork in court late last week. The deal between a failed Louisville school board candidate and the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance makes candidates in school board races eligible for up to $1,000 contributions from individual donors, the same as other races.
