Referendums for more school building fail

Soundly, and with little fear, voters denied school systems in Northwest Indiana the ability to borrow money to build large new facilities.

Boone Grove, in Porter Township here in Porter County, featured a landslide against the referendum of 74 percent "against" raising property taxes to build facilities. I found it a little odd that in the face of a large referendum for his school system Superintendent Nick Brown was out of town. He either knew the referendum was dead, or is already searching for another job.
