The polls are open for voters in the Elkhart Schools district, who will decide on Tuesday, May 4, whether or not a $120 million referendum will pass.
If approved, the referendum would provide $15.25 million per year for eight years to increase pay for all employees, reduce their out-of-pocket health insurance costs and continue to provide safe transportation for students at the current levels.
It’s an extra $119, each year, for the average homeowner.
The election is only for registered voters in the Elkhart School District only.

You should really be more specific about the truth of the cost. Casually saying $119 / house is disingenuous. You should really be more specific about the true cost per assessed value. Sounds like you are pushing this. Hope Casey gets after you for this.
Everyone has that relative that blows their rent money and then begs for help so they don’t end up on the street. Every time you help that person out, you reinforce the idea that they can keep doing what they are doing, even if it is wrong.
The school administrators need the same treatment. They have plenty of budget, they just aren’t paying the bills instead of blowing their budget on stupid crap. It’s time to cut them off.
