Voters Say No To Bonds In Selah and Prosser

Voters in Selah and Prosser rejected school bonds Tuesday to upgrade facilities and build new schools. For the second time this year voters in Selah turned down a 39 million dollar measure with 51 percent report...not the 60 percent supermajority needed for passage. In February 58 percent of voters supported the measure to build a new junior high and upgrade other schools in the district. School officials say they may ask voters again next year.

In Prosser voters also turned down a 39 million dollar school measure with nearly 55 percent voting in favor...again not the 60 percent supermajority needed for passage.
