BRAINERD LAWMAKER FAVORS MAKING SCHOOL LEVY REFERENDUM ILLEGAL

District 12 State Representative John Ward said he likes a bill being worked up by Bemidji lawmaker Frank Moe that would make school levy referendums illegal and doing away with them totally. Ward said Edina School District voters recently approved an $1800 per pupil issue and "Brainerd, Crosby and Walker can't pass a referendum, creating a system of have-nots." Ward said Moe is on the right track. Ward sits on a legislative committee charged with examining the school funding system in Minnesota. The committee meets again in January.
