Nursing home officials wonder what the future holds after recent county vote | New Richmond News | New Richmond, Wisconsin: "Wentz noted that the 2008 county advisory referendum indicated 3-to-1 support from voters wishing to aid the nursing home operation with tax dollars. She feels the board is acting against the wishes of the majority of county residents."
According to the numbers I got from the Clerk, the vote was about 2 to 1 — not 3 to 1. 27,428 Yes and 14,769 No.
Note that the referendum has “if property tax dollars are needed to fund its operation”. Some people may disagree about weather the nursing home needs tax dollars to continue operation.
Here is what the ballot said:
QUESTION 1:
Should St. Croix County continue to operate a public nursing home if property tax dollars are needed to fund its operation?
O YES
O NO
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND EFFECT OF VOTE:
The St. Croix County Board of Supervisors desires public input on the question of whether or not the county should continue to operate the public nursing home if property tax dollars are needed to fund its operation. The result of the vote is advisory, not binding. A “yes” vote means you want the county to continue to operate the public nursing home if property tax dollars are needed to fund its operation. A “no” vote means you do not want the county to continue to operate the public nursing home if property tax dollars are needed to fund its operation.?
