Round Lake area voters should expect Groundhog Day to be in their future with the same election question on their ballots after one official called for another library referendum or referendums. That was after voters soundly defeated a $36.4 million building bond question on the March 19 primary ballot.
Perhaps it was the low turnout that gives hope to Richmond and others on the library board that if they return with another referendum in the Nov. 5 general election or in next spring’s municipal election, they will have better luck. For referendum marketers, this is the tactic of placing continuing questions on the ballot until they get the results they want. School districts use this part of the referendum playbook with effectiveness.
Putting an optimistic spin on the referendum loss, Richmond noted: “It does show a lot of people like the library.” Who doesn’t enjoy libraries and all they offer? Approving the referendum would have meant a higher tax burden for Round Lake area homeowners with an increase of $345.84 a year on tax bills for houses valued at $228,200. That figure is the median fair market home value in the Avon Township area, according to the library district’s data.
Richmond and her fellow trustees believe they know what’s best for taxpayers in the Round Lake area. They maintain the library is too small at 28,000 square feet.
