Reader Poll

How did you vote and how do you feel about the passing of D39s referendum?

I voted for it and will always invest in education. Im happy with the turnout.

I was for it, but was hesitant. I dont want to see this money mismanaged.

I voted against it and think all we are doing is bailing out he district.

I was against it, but only because another tax increase is going to hurt our bottom line.
