Germantown Referendum Climate Notes

Mike Nichols:

The people who live in Germantown said on April 1 that they do not think they need a new elementary school, at least not one that costs as much as the Germantown School Board says.

By a margin of 55% to 45%, the residents of Germantown voted no, and probably thought it meant something.

It doesn't. The school board now says that shouldn't count.

The board has now directed staff to prepare another, identical referendum and put it on the ballot again this coming November.

Prodoehl, who is the president of the Germantown Citizens Action Coalition, a group that really wasn't very active the first time around but just might be now, calls this a "slap in the face."
