The app for independent voices

If the 2013 referendum didn't pass, what makes you think one in 2025 will? I don't think it's going to be possible to successfully hide the fifth ward school element of why there's a bail out needed. Other reasons that might drive pushback:

-lower % of Evanston residents with D65 eligible kids using our public schools=less invested in their success

-parents of current high schoolers who had a negative experience around the handling of pandemic reopening

-the most recent tax hike from our triennial reassessment was a doozy based on elevated property values, so people are even more conscious of their taxes
