Combined Bonds

Summary

View the complete results for this topic.

Combining the bonds together does not do well this year in comparison…

• The $96 million combined bond passes by 49.8% to 46.2%

Like last year, there is no margin in combining the bonds this year – leave them separate. This may be a result of the nature of the bonds, it may be a hangover reaction from the combination of last year’s bonds.

Comparison to last year - Last year’s survey showed a combined $114 million bond passing by 53.9% to 40.3%, a larger amount that passed more comfortably… evidence that the appetite for combined bonds has decreased. We can’t forget, of course, that last year’s bond didn’t end up passing at the polls.

Interesting result - Among the 104 respondents who voted for the $44 million bond maintenance bond, but against the $52 million construction bond… put the bonds together and 85.4% of them vote no. The voter frame of mind this year leaves little appetite for being forced, through a combining of bonds, into voting for something they don’t want to vote for.
