ST. MARIES - St. Maries voters on Tuesday turned down a $2.1 million, 30-year bond to expedite installing water meters and develop a second water source on the St. Joe River.The votes were 204 against the proposal and 140 for it. A simple majority (50 percent plus one) was needed for the measure to pass.
"I'm very disappointed that it didn't pass," Mayor Tami Holdahl said. "We've lost a lot of water rights on the St. Joe that we'll never get back. I don't think the people realize what they've lost." Brian Walker, Cda Press More here.
Bond issues seem to be unpopular this year, agree or disagree?
