WAUPUN REJECTS REFERENDUMS

I think this does not bode well for Ripon's upcoming referendum:

WAUPUN – For the third time in three years, voters rejected a multi-million dollar referendum in the Waupun Area School District.All three questions of the three-pronged, three-year $4.9 million referendum failed to gain voter support.“I wish we could blame this on the economy, but the outcome of tonight’s vote is the same as it was back in April 2008,” said School Board President Cathy Loomans. “I guess what people are trying to tell us is to continue to look for cuts and make some major changes in how we do business.”
