Nine of ten requests to exceed state-imposed revenue limits on a recurring (i.e., permanent) basis were approved, a 90 percent passage rate.
Seventeen of 20 borrowing referendums (85 percent) were approved, including a $317 million facilities improvement request in Madison and a similar $107 million ask in Oshkosh, among others. A $155 million ask was turned back by voters in Wausau.
