Reader says the reason those other districts moved their vote was so they could dispense with the budget vote.
my question is this….
why can’t they move the vote to november AND move the budget vote then? the only reason those other districts moved their vote was so they could dispense with the budget vote.
it seems like we could/should keep the vote. i know it obviously has little impact but it certainly is at least symbolic. we can blatantly see when the will of the voters is overridden by the VC/BOE.

That’s not one of the options the Governor gave back in January of ’12. Don’t forget the cost savings of eliminating an April stand alone election…..not everything is a conspiracy.
Just because the governor acted in a self-serving cowardly fashion does not remove the possibility that the VC/BOE is also acting in a self-serving cowardly fashion.
Besides, the BOE does not need to move the election to dispense with the budget vote… they will just use their omnipotence to deem that there will be no more budget votes.
