Reducing the Two-Thirds Vote on School Bonds
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 8.24.1999
Come next year, it's likely that there will be an initiative on the ballot to reduce the current two-thirds voter approval requirement for local school bonds to a simple majority vote. Those who support the change claim that the passage requirement on bonds must be lowered in order to raise adequate revenues for school construction. The facts, however, tell a different story.
