Passing the referendum is our permission to raise our taxes to pay it off. The increase from last year was long overdue because our taxes weren't increased to pay for the previous new schools. Contrary to popular opinion that taxes went up last year "due to the redistricting" - that tax increase should have happened years ago.
I was curious about what "latitude" was because it seems too open ended for me. 155... 180... 210 - what's a few more bucks to cover overruns?
It's going to be very interesting to watch the PR show to garner support for this referendum. It's a lot of money.
