Hoosiers are just a bunch of anti-tax yahoos. We dare not give them the power of a referenum and actually let them vote on scool building projects or big tax increases -- nothing would ever be approved again!
Voters in Indiana's fastest-growing community have overwhelmingly approved a referendum giving its school district an extra $5.5 million a year in property tax revenue for the next seven years.
Vote tallies from Fisher's Hamilton Southeastern district show 82 percent support for the referendum in Tuesday's special election.
Oops.
I'd bet a good portion of those voters even understood that part of the school district's problem was due to waste and mismanagment of money and voted to approve the extra funding anyway, just to show their support for education.
