Seth from Kenny posted: I only voted for the most recent referendum, but I know for certain that the actual ballots contained no wording about class size. The ballot language only described the technical detail of the tax increase. The referendum campaign talked about specific class size, the actual referendum did not.
Understanding this distinction is an important lesson for the next referendum that we face, be it about taxes, gambling, or same-sex marriage. Brandt: It's also important to understand that the referendum that raised money for lower class sizes did not mention class sizes because the state law governing the wording of referenda prohibited that.
