Re: Levy Timing

["John Danahy" <JDANAHY@turbonet.com>]

I seem to remember several years ago (4 or 5?) that the question of
combining elections came up before the legislature.  At that time, I believe
the question was regarding common practice of rerunning levy elections over
and over until one passed.  The focus was to limit when levy elections could
be run to four or five specific days a year.
Does anyone else remember this?
