Ballot title
The ballot title for Measure 2 was as follows:
| “ | STATE BONDS FOR EDUCATION FACILITIES - Purpose: Constitutional amendment authorizing general obligation bonds for constructing self-supporting facilities for community colleges. Permits use of revenues from other state education facilities in financing projects. Estimate of Financial Effects: This amendment to Article XI-F(1) and repeal of Article XI-G would reduced the bonding limit for Higher Education and community college building projects from $134,750,000 to $104,750,000. It would also remove the present $5,000,000 limitation on indebtedness for community colleges within the total bonding capacity. The potential average annual cost for principle and interest on bonded indebtedness would be reduced by approximately $1,750,000. The indebtedness under both articles now totals $68,000,000. | ” |
