Our group has been told that there’s no precedence in overturning a referendum that has passed by the voters. Background… School Board put on ballot a referendum asking voters for $88 million to build a new school. Vote passed on a very slim margin. They advertised this referendum would cost taxpayers $0.12 per $1000 fair market /equalized value of property in district. The state of WI bumped property values to the tune of roughly 25% which in turn changed that $0.12 to $1.99. Our demographic is mainly retired people and low income More shady things happening but looking specifically to see if any other districts.. anywhere in US have had their school board referendum overturned in a court of law due to defrauding the voters.

It would be nice if the average household - which definitely doesn't use their property FOR PROFIT - would have the same tax-free benefits as non-profit organizations and churches do - that DO use their property to raise money and pay staff salaries for secretaries, priests, pastors, etcetera.
