Hopefully the bond is defeated for the fact that over $92 million of it is pork barrel bonding for non related projects. Lieing and deceiving the public is cause enough to defeat it. A special elcection for a special bond with only the needed new building for law enfrocement and emergency services be funded, the real cost of $100 million and discard the pork projects and excessive taxation. Besides with the windfall tax increase in property taxes a bond should not be necessary to rebuild needed facilities.

It will be even more confusing if Salt Lake calls Referendum 1 which is the voucher law and what it is called in the voter information guide by the title Initiative 1

I guess the only people who would be confused are the ones who think that public schools deserve all of our education money.
