Rep. Rick Glazier thinks school board candidates should pay a little more.

The Fayetteville Democrat filed a bill this week that would raise the filing fee for school board candidates from $5 to $100.

He said that would bring it in line with other local offices, which can be as high as $250, and reduce the number of candidates who never campaign.

"What we see in my county is that people will be mad at a teacher or a superintendent one day and they'll decide to file, but they never really campaign because they've calmed down," he said.

He said that a higher filing fee would push candidates to be "vested" in their campaign.

Glazier also argued that a longer list of candidates increases the cost of holding an election.
