Continues the district’s authority to collect, retain and spend all its revenue above constitutional and statutory limits each fiscal year, without raising taxes.

The questions in total

Four local questions: 1 elections, 1 government structure, 1 keeping extra revenue, 1 school borrowing.

Dollar figures are on each question's row and page and are not added here: two of these questions set no tax, and two of the districts cross county lines.

I recommend a yes vote on 2A and 2B, and a no vote on 5A and 7A.

The measure documents the Hinsdale County Clerk and Recorder attached to a reply as what will be on the November ballot — the districts' and town's own filed text.
