Responding to Kathy's question below, I have talked with several referendum
supporters who were surprised by the mailings sent out...lots of
college-level vocabulary, a small font, densely packed. The other thought I
hear is that it simply takes more time than was available. Those not
already in "the choir" probably need to hear the reasons for a YES vote
several times, in different ways and from different people. Was there time
to make sure that happened?
I have a question, which will probably highlight my ignorance when it comes
to school funding. Is it possible to structure a levy in some way so that
those on fixed incomes are not affected by the property tax increase? Or
are there any other, less regressive taxing options available to school
districts?

between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world.
This makes it hard to plan the day."
