A Closer Look at Madison School and City Referenda

Madison voters have more big decisions than just politicians on the Nov. 5 ballot, with both the city and the school district approving referendums to raise property taxes (the city for operating budget, and the schools for both operating budget and building renovation/replacement). The nonpartisan Wisconsin Policy Forum is hosting this event designed to help demystify the process, featuring interviews with Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Joe Gothard and a panel discussion. Registration is required at wispolicyforum.org.
