Accounting change may aid November 2008 Madison referendum

Andy Hall:

More than 60 Wisconsin school districts got an earlier start than Madison did in instituting a bookkeeping change that potentially saves local property owners millions of dollars in taxes.

But led by a new superintendent and business manager, Madison last month adopted the accounting measure -- a move that school officials hope will strengthen community support for a Nov. 4 referendum.

The referendum will ask voters for a three-year series of permanent tax increases to generate $13 million to avert multimillion-dollar budget cuts.

Much more on the November 2008 referendum here.
