Rhinelander Building Costs Referendum (2008)
From Ballotpedia
Contents |
The Rhinelander Building Costs Referendum is a school bond issue on the September 9, 2008 ballot in the School District of Rhinelander, and Oneida, Lincoln and Langlade counties, Wisconsin. The purpose of the referendum is to furnish recurring funds by exceeding state-set revenue limits by $225,000 per year for the general operation costs of the new construction proposed by the Rhinelander Schools Construction and New Pool referendum.
The two referenda are credited with a larger than usual voter turn out in the district for the September election. [1]
