On May 4, the Village of Munsey Park conducted a referendum on whether it should issue bonds to a maximum amount of $6 million dollars to finance the cost of the extensive road repair and rehabilitation program that has been in the planning and development stage for the past six months. Although the village board of trustees had the legal authority to issue bonds without a referendum, a decision was made early in the process that bonds would not be issued without a majority vote in a referendum. A total of two hundred (200) votes were cast in the May 4 referendum with the result being: No: 116. Yes: 83 and one blank vote. The referendum was defeated. FULL STORY
