Baraboo Referendum Loss (2nd Round) Notes
Christina Beam:
Supporters of a five-year, $7.5 million school referendum -- who appeared to have made no headway in their campaign since the same referendum question failed six months ago -- were devastated by Tuesday night's defeat.
When the same referendum was on the ballot April 4, voters rejected it by 64 votes, or 1 percent. Last week, with only 11 fewer voters weighing in, the measure failed by about 2 percent, or 135 votes.
"Obviously, we need to be doing something different than what we are because we're not connecting with people we need to connect with," School Board President Kevin Vodak said.
