Yesterday was election day, and we had two major issues in the area that were decided. The first the trustee elections, and the second for 30% of the community, the Big Hollow School Referendum.
The Big Hollow School Election was a quite emphatic second time no to the district on increasing the rate. There were active supporters on both sides of this equation with the vote shaking out as follows.
|
| Percent | Votes |
|---|
| YES | | 32.63% | 572 |
| NO | | 67.37% | 1,181 |
| 1,753 |
The other issue was the the three trustee spots up for election in the village, between Trustee Sherry Perkowitz, Trustee Michael Blum, former Trustee Dale Multerer, and Rose White.
|
| Percent | Votes |
|---|
| Michael R. Blum (UN) | | 25.14% | 580 |
| Dale D. Multerer (UN) | | 25.18% | 581 |
| Sherry B. Perkowitz (UN) | | 26.31% | 607 |
| Rose White (IND) | | 23.36% | 539 |
| 2,307 |
Congratulations to the three winners (bold above) the interesting number here is 2307, if you divide that by 3 you can tell that around 700-800 people voted. There are 6,400 registered voters in Round Lake so thats around 12% voter turnout, which is a shame. Four years ago in a the off year election we had a turnout of 11% so I guess that is better sort of.
