Referendum result dampens mood in St. Louis County Schools

Bummed. That might be the best way to summarize how teachers, staff and administration are feeling after two St. Louis County Schools referendum questions were voted down in the general election. “I’m sure everybody is kind of bummed out that it didn’t pass, but what do you do,” Lynn Hilde, St. Louis County Schools board chairman said. “I imagine it was about raising taxes.” An operating referendum that would have raised $5.8 million per year for 10 years and a $1.5 million capital project referendum, were aimed at helping the rural school district regain its financial footing. The measures were voted down 5,814 to 3,442. Had both referendum questions been approved, the state would have kicked in about $2.65 million. However, approval would have still increased district residents’ property taxes. Not one of the more than 60 polling places within the district recorded more yes votes than no votes. “For me it was surprising,” Brian Masterson, St. Louis County Schools superintendent said. “I hadn’t heard a lot of negative comments.” Of the more than 9,200 people who voted on the referendums, about 3,000 were parents whose children attend schools in the district, Hilde said. That probably left about 6,000 votes

County Board approves petition allowing portion of Greenwood Township to join Goodwill Township

The County Board approved a petition to allow a portion of Greenwood Township to become part of neighboring Goodwill Township. The involved area includes 435 parcels on the northwestern side of Greenwood Township, of which about 10% are primary residences, a county news release stated. Much of the conversation focused on property tax impacts as well as emergency response services. In voting in favor of the petition, Commissioner Paul McDonald noted that the decision was about more than those issues, "This is about sense of community," said McDonald, whose district includes both townships. "When people don't have that sense of community, they lose something. Goodwill Township and Cook align with that end of Lake Vermilion," Commissioners approved the petition during Tuesday's meeting, which was held in Gilbert. The vote came following a public hearing, which originally was held in September, but then continued when it was learned that not all affected property owners had received communication. Details on when this change goes into effect will be communicated to the respective townships at a later date.

Downtown Duluth takes small steps toward a bigger test

Downtown Duluth has hired someone to help move its revitalization plan forward, organized working groups and reported new storefront openings. Those are legitimate beginnings for a district trying to regain its footing. The harder question, a year after the Imagine Downtown plan was unveiled, is when those beginnings will produce improvements people can consistently see on their way to work, into a business or along a downtown sidewalk.
