This week's question was, Approximately how much money in bond measures was authorized by voters between 2000 and 2020?

You answered: $350 billion

The correct answer is: $250 billion.

Ballotpedia tracked 244 statewide bond measures on the ballot from 2000 to 2020 asking voters to authorize up to $254.63 billion in bond debt in 22 states.

The bulk of these bonds were placed on the ballot by state legislatures. Eleven citizen initiative petitions placed statewide bond measures on the ballot from 2000 to 2020, and state legislatures referred the other 233 measures to the ballot.

Thanks for your response!
