>Moving school elections would mean buying new machines
The state will need to spend $12 million for new voting machines if a bill that helps to move school elections to November is passed, officials said Thursday.
The bill, which ends a century of practice and also permits the end of school budget votes, passed a state Senate committee despite the warnings from two state clerks.
It is now poised for votes in both chambers of the state Legislature. (Jordan, Gannett)
