Over 44,000 voters cast ballots in the election, a record turn out for “non-partisan” races. An overwhelming majority passed the levy for District 271, although not as high as the 70% predicted here. As predicted, Tim and Tom won the library trustee positions and attempted to seek new legal counsel for the library district.
In March 2023, the previous library trustees created a library card for minors which would allow parents to authorize the level of content minors can access. After much public indignation and persecution, the new board members first action is to seek a different legal opinion. With moderate degree of certainty, it can be surmised that the new trustees want to take steps into censorship and ban objectionable books from the library. Pending meetings will be held in executive session.
