Wood County passes resolutions for referendas in November

Wood County voters will have the chance the ask the state to approve expansion of BadgerCare and approve raising the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour in November. Both resolutions passed the Board at their meeting last Tuesday.

The vote on Badgercare was 12-5 (with two Supervisors absent)

The vote on the minimum wages was a nail-biting 9-8.

We did our part....now the voters have to do theirs.

Both should be a statewide movement.

Do you have any plans in place to measure changes in the electoral demographics as a result of the referenda? Exit polls, maybe?
