The State Bond Commission on Friday is set to approve $800,000 for the purchase and installation of new electronic
voting boards for the House of Representatives in the State Capitol. Let’s see, $800K divided by 151 House members equals $5,298 per lawmaker. That’s putting it in terms that taxpayers can graphically understand.

    Interesting purchase. That thing is certainly out of date/style. I’d agree with Mr. Lee about getting a look at the new board and any innovations it may provide.

    Is the current one broken? Has anyone described the advantages of a brand new board?

  3. Ken Dixon says:

    Good question: Vendors for these tote boards are limited. Blogster will monitor Friday at Bond Commission.

    Did they put it out to bid?
