Local Election Issues
The two issues I voted on Tuesday ended up a mixed bag of results. The 1/3 cent county sales tax extension passed overwhelmingly, construction begins next Spring. One of the projects is extending 81st street for 1 mile, connecting it to Highway 97. The school bond vote garnered 52% yes votes, but fell short of the required supermajority, 60%. The school superintendent said "Losing the first proposition really hurts, I just don't know how we can continue without its passage." The first proposition was for more classrooms. I think I see a merger of this small country "dependent school district" and the town's school district coming. It'll probably be changed to an elementary school and all the 7th and 8th graders will be bussed to town with their high school counterparts.
