Consultant warns West Lafayette school district of being complacent heading toward Nov. 7, despite large margins in two previous property tax referendum questions
I'm glad that communities with significant means vote to tax themselves to support schools. Don't lose sight of the fact that many Indiana districts don't have such a concentration of high income earners. Meaning, it would be helpful if our state taxed all of us enough to elevate the struggling school districts.
Yes, to all voters doing the job of a good citizen and voting. Hopefully these same residents/voters will also join the fight against airbnbs since they take away the opportunity of families with children to live in our school district to keep our schools thriving.
In addition to not being complacent, it helps to make it clear to all that this is just continuing the existing tax. Some of the wording in the referendum says that, but some of the wording also makes it sound like this involves an increase to what we're already paying.

This is good to see, hopefully it bodes well and people actually show up to vote
