Look, the "vote" is really a vote in name only. You really have no choice. It's a feel good measure, not even sure why they bother - oh right, it's another way to spend money. Get the polling place ready, pay the seniors to man the polling place (check your BOE meeting minutes to see what they get paid - most are former teachers) etc etc.
There's no way to cut salaries in the budget vote, that is a contractual obligation. Usually if a "no" vote happens it's just the people trying to send a message that they are fed up. And then it takes a while to turn that ship around, but it seems you are finally seeing it after a bunch failed 5 years ago.
