After asking for the results of the vote on the school bond referendum Tuesday night and receiving the answer, they said, “Wonderful. Enough is enough.” Yes. Voters rejected the school district’s $40.2 million con- struction plan Tuesday. The heated and contentious road to this decision has opened many eyes in this community. Although bond referendums have been rejected in the past, there was a depth and breadth of resistance to this year’s plan unseen in prior years. In 2002, voters approved $18 million expenditure for addi- tions at the elementary schools but turned thumbs down on a $1.3 plan to install synthetic turf at the high school stadium. In 1994, voters said “no” to a $36.8 million plan to make renovations at all the schools and at the Education Center. A smaller construction passed on a second go-around. Two thou- sand fewer voters were involved in the decision the second time around. The difference this year was a well-organized resistance to the bond referendum. There was organized support as well. However, the schools and their supporters obviously did not succeed in doing the better selling job. Out of 12,118 registered voters, less than half, or 5,474 vot- ers (not including provisional voters) cast ballots. The contentiousness of the referendum was expected to draw much higher numbers to the polls. Instead, less than half the eligible members of the community are responsible for a decision that affects all of us. Still, the turnout is a record. For the October 1994 referen- dum, 5,456 voters cast ballots. One of the eye-opening truths attached to this year’s refer- endum is how much a decision can change when more people become involved. /HWWHUV WR WKH (GLWRU In the very beginning of the year, the school administration presented its plans to the public at a Board of Education meet- Opposes Cingular’s dom commuters passing miles Protests deer plan With Millburn’s town popula- ing.
