Schools bonds have become a tough sell in Michigan. Not this time
Michigan voters approved school bonds requests at a slightly higher rate Tuesday than in recent elections.
Voters approved 64.6% of school bond requests, according to a Bridge Michigan analysis of Gongwer News Service election data.
School districts can use bonds to pay for major projects but they must ask voters for permission to borrow money.
In recent years, school bonds have been less popular with voters, despite tax proposals for police, roads, libraries, parks and senior citizens largely passing, according to a joint investigation by Gongwer News Service and Bridge Michigan.
