	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;A conservative blogger says &lt;a href=&quot;/dome/profiles/richard_moore&quot;&gt;Richard Moore&amp;#39;s&lt;/a&gt; roads &lt;a href=&quot;/dome/profiles/richard_moore&quot;&gt;reform plan&lt;/a&gt; is a &amp;quot;good first step.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Red Clay Citizen, Chris Hayes &lt;a href=&quot;http://redclaycitizen.typepad.com/redclay/2008/01/a-good-first-st.html&quot;&gt;writes&lt;/a&gt; that the problem isn&amp;#39;t that Board of Transportation members are raising money after they&amp;#39;ve been appointed, but they are raising money to get on the board.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;How about enact a regulation that says if you or any member of your family is a campaign contributor, you can&amp;#39;t serve on any Board that has spending or regulatory authority.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s take it one step further and stop the game of people raising tens of thousands of dollars for (wink, wink) a seat on the BOT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, he gives &amp;quot;kudos to Moore&amp;quot; for addressing the issue. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
