District 300 Tax Hike Committee Reports More Money in the Door – This Time from an Individual
While most of the School District 300 campaign over $133,000 in campaign resources have come corporations—mainly developers and school vendors--today the State Board of Elections web site shows West Dundee’s Sanford Morganstein’s contributing $1,000.
Morganstein is a long-time supporter of District 300 tax hike committees. He contributed 2/12/02 $500 on Feb. 12, 2002 to a predecessor committee called the “Schools Now for District 300 Committee.” He contributed another $500 on June 5, 2002. On that campaign contribution disclosure statement he is identified as “public relations.”
His contributions to District 300 tax hike committees since 2000 rose to $2,000 on March
7th.
Morganstein identified himself as the “president and founder of Populex Corporation: a company specifically founded to provide new solutions for secure, accurate and confidence-building for the nation,” in testimony to Congress on July 20, 2004. The company has offices in Elgin.
His company biography includes the following state job
Chief, Technology and Competitiveness, for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs during Illinois Governor Jim Edgar’s administration
The West Dundee resident contributed $550 to Governor Jim Edgar in 1995. A “Monica” of the same address gave $1,000 to Governor Rod Blagojevich in 2004.

I worked with Sandy Morganstien at ITT Telecommunications in 1978-79 when I got out of college. He was also breifly involved with a startup I worked for in the late 1990s. It looks like his new company, Populex, is in the business of manufacutring voting machines. Just swell, a pro-taxer selling voting machines. Kind of like if the Bush Administration was selling voting machines for the 2004 presidential election.
