The “so-called elite” in this country with their heads screwed on straight, says the NPR man in conversation with two fake Muslims with $5 million in their pockets, is too small.

Oak Park’s elementary school district understates on the April 5 referendum ballot how much its passage would cost taxpayers, leaving out state equalizer info that ups the ante.
We didn’t have to put it in, say the district’s lawyers.

So referendum ballots throughout Illinois routinely do not tell voters the whole story?
Note: Campaign information has been accurate in this case; only the ballot is in question.
On the other hand, what the hell difference does it make? How many people read the fine print on a referendum ballot anyway? Tsk.
