Prop. Q. stands to help builders

If Los Angeles Unified's $7billion school bond passes Tuesday, district students won't be the only ones who benefit. George B. Sanchez in the Daily News.

Contractors and construction firms are expected to see an uptick in business during the slumping economy - and many of them have contributed financially to the Yes on Measure Q campaign.

Since early September, the Yes on Q effort received more than 140 contributions totaling more than $700,000. Nearly two-thirds of them came from general contractors, construction, architecture and engineering firms, most of whom do business with the district.

Bonds sought for other districts
