Public vote backs Front Door Project amid local opposition
In Finney County a special election saw 2,500 of 17,170 registered voters turn out for the Front Door Project. Supporters credit campaign funding of about 2700 dollars and door-to-door effort led by promoters. Critics denounce the cost and timing, urging a general election to save taxpayer dollars as the college plans a bond issue to finance the project.
