First Biden, now Sanders, endorses 2 school referendums

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — First it was Joe Biden who endorsed a pair of Wisconsin school district referendum votes that are on Tuesday’s ballot. Now Bernie Sanders is doing the same.

Biden, the former vice president and Democratic presidential front-runner, announced on Tuesday that he was in support of referendums in Milwaukee and Racine. Sanders, a senator from Vermont, added his backing on Thursday.

The Milwaukee referendum would cost taxpayers $87 million, and the one in Racine comes with a $1 billion price tag. They are among more than 40 districts across the state seeking more than $1.6 billion in referendums in Tuesday’s election.

Milwaukee’s money would go toward operational expenses, including staff and programming. Racine’s is for the renovation and construction of buildings.
