What’s the April 7 Consolidated Election About?

The April 7, 2015, consolidated election is one of those “close to home” ballots that’s really where the rubber meets the road in terms of local representation and local-government impact on your day-to-day life.

School boards, library boards, park boards, community college boards, city and village boards — these are the elected bodies that make decisions that affect many of our most vital services and the majority of our property tax bills. There are also seven referendums you should know about.
