This is at the bottom of the article, but is important for voters to know.

“Instead, several architect and construction firms are listed as the top contributors for the controversial school bond, which added up to $85,154 in contributions.

“The highest contribution came from Van Pelt Construction Services, a business management consultant in Fairfield, which donated $15,000 to the campaign.

“The other four top contributors that contributed $10,000 each were: Sugimura Finney Architects, a general architect firm in Campbell; Arntz Builders, a general contractor firm in Petaluma; LPA Design Studios, a design firm based in Irvine; and Robert A. Bothman Construction, a Concrete contractor in Santa Clara.”

so any company the contributes should be barred from bidding on any jobs that result from the bond?

Really now¿

I am more surprised by the amount the campaign is spending, but no, I don’t personally think companies who are working with the district should be contributors. Most important is that the community understands the companies working for the district are paying for the yes campaign. “Please vote yes, because then I’ll get to work here.” Seems a bit off.
