school referendum

Monroe County voters are being asked to approve another school referendum this election. The Brown County Music Center is on track for its most profitable year ever. And the latest on the battle over annexation by the city of Bloomington.

Lawmakers changed state law in 2021 to require new referendum language on ballots. But some say the new ballot questions could cause voters to have different interpretations of what a referendum measure means for their tax bill.

Supporters say it will help close funding gaps for charters, but critics worry it could stifle future referendum attempts.
