Renewal of 1/2 percent income tax for five years, for current Bowling Green City School District expenses?
We were led to believe the expenses would go down. What happened to all the promises made by the unions in order to get SB5 revoked?

That's ridiculous, M1ke. The two have nothing to do with each other. And the reasons for opposing Issue 2 had everything to do with how it was set to redefine the nature of public sector work, not about some highly-touted and widely accepted suggestions for cost-saving reforms. The continuing levy was in place before the controversy, it was not addressed by Issue 2, the need for it was not diminished by cuts of funding to localities from the state, and is a reasonable request. Basically, just admit that you are against public school funding, throw your little temper tantrum, make fun of "lazy" college professors you do not know and cannot judge, and go home.

Can I vote now - or do I have to wait until March to click 'No'?
