MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The authors of a bill restricting how often school districts could propose borrowing referendums say districts are abusing the process. Rep. Michael Schraa and Sen. Duey Stroebel’s proposal would prohibit districts from bringing failed borrowing referendums and resolutions back to voters for two years. The measure also would mandate that referendum votes be held only during the state’s spring election in April or during the state’s fall general election in November. Schraa and Stroebel told the Assembly education committee Thursday that they’ve drafted an amendment to reduce the waiting period to one year. But they insisted districts keep bringing failed referendums back and holding elections at odd times when turnout is low. They say districts are ignoring the will of the taxpayers.
