Check here shortly for views on some of the 'new' SB candidates -- but I encourage you to ask this question of each and every one of them , " Do you support a referendum to raise revenue" ?
Do not take beating around the bush for an answer.. make them commit.
Be prepared 204 taxpayer - as there are some dates where all the refinancing of previous debt that was done comes home to roost tax wise - next year is one of those dates. Tax caps do nothing to prevent the increase.
So after wasting $154M of your money for a school with lots of space and almost 3000 HS kids less than they scared you with ( and ES attendance continuing to drop) - the last thing you need is to pay more money while we have out of district kids cabbing their way to our now uncrowded district.
Also be aware that the underfunded teachers pension issue IS going to be sent to local school districts. That is when, not if, as Mike Madigan gives you and I the finger and takes that debt off the state ledger.That will be on top of any referendum, and will be expensive.
Hold onto your wallets 204 taxpayers - another raid is about to begin
