Exit poll shows why Wichita supported school bonds, exposes trust gap | Opinion

What a difference a year and a half makes. Of all the things that happened in the Nov. 3 election, one of the most surprising, important and far-reaching results was the successful campaign for school bonds in Wichita’s USD 259.
