Monroe County Voters Reject 3.2 Million School Levy
Monroe County residents vote down a 3.2 million school bond levy intended for capital improvements at all district schools, defeating the measure 58 percent to 42. The text notes crowded Peterstown Elementary, inadequate Peterstown Middle School HVAC, and argues the state SBA should fund additions rather than rely on local taxes. It also covers state stock investments returning up to 9.8 percent, a Raleigh-Chamber Show, and police card program.
