The candidates of 1st STEP, attempted to meet with Home & School Associations to provide an open forum, never requesting any donations from them, nor lobbying for their votes, simply to provide information on the upcoming election. The district/school board did not like this, and had the taxpayer paid solicitor issue a warning to H&S's not to meet with the candidates. So much for your rights as a voter to be informed.
Mr. Dooley cited an IRS code for tax exempt organizations, and threatened the possible loss by having us meet with the H&S's. This was intimidation at its highest, and also inaccurate information. We made sure that we met the exceptions with the H&S's that penalities did not occur.
