Local education bonds divide community on timing
Ukiah Unified voters split 4-3 on calling a second bond election, with four board members urging March 21 and three preferring after the June 1972 primary when a statewide loan proposal is on the ballot. The district must gain about 70 percent support in Ukiah precincts to reach the two thirds threshold, as outlying areas opposed unification and tax burdens. Proposals to shift education costs to the state face skepticism and may affect turnout and support in June.

It jokes that tying a string on a finger erases the reminder, warns about aching arches from ignoring toes, mocks Easter candy displays in a Christmas season, and notes a live wire depends on big connections.
