The West Bend COC said this today:
At the January meeting of the West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors, the board had an extended and impassioned discussion regarding the upcoming West Bend School District referendum.

The chamber recognizes that there is never a good time to ask the citizens of our community to support a tax increase. However, we believe that making an investment in our school facilities is too important to delay until the economy completely recovers. There are significant advantages to negotiating favorable construction prices in a down economy, thus we have decided to take a proactive stand on this issue.

Taxpayers want a frugal and streamlined referendum. Someone's cryin....
