Predicting Tomorrow’s Vote

Tomorrow the citizens of the West Bend school district will go to the polls to vote on a $119.3 million referendum.  It says:

WEST BEND SCHOOL DISTRICT

Shall the following Initial Resolution be approved?

INITIAL RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $119,300,000 BE IT RESOLVED by the School Board of the West Bend Joint School District Number 1, that there shall be issued pursuant to Chapter 67 of the Wisconsin Statutes, general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $119,300,000 over a four year period for the purpose of paying the cost of a comprehensive facility improvement program which includes constructing a new twin middle school and closing Badger Middle School; converting Silverbrook Middle School into an elementary school and closing Barton Elementary School; constructing a new elementary school to serve the Jackson area and closing Jackson Elementary School; constructing additions and repair and safety improvement projects at Decorah, Fair Park, Green Tree and McLane Elementary Schools and East and West High Schools; and acquiring land, equipment and furnishings all as approved by the District’s Long Range Facilities Plan.

Do you think it will pass?  Note, I didn’t ask if you want it to pass, but if you think it will pass.  Also, what do you think the turnout will be?
