SILO Wins Johnson, Linn; Democrat Miller Wins Linn AuditorQuick exhausted look at
the numbers:
Turnout picks up a bit late in the day as the snow slows, still a bit short of 1999
Hot Spot: Iowa City 4 (Manville Heights and Peninsula)with 86%; Lone Tree with 81%
West side pretty warm, upper to mid 70s, also IC24 (City High) and North Coralville)
The cool spot in town, as always for school measures, was southeast Iowa City. Not so much regressivity as read my lips working class tories here.
A few scattered rural precincts, mostly in the south, were weak or actual no votes.
Top percentage turnout was Solon
Student turnout near non-existent.
Now that the penny SILO tax is consistent statewide, the Johnson-Linn legislators can better make a case for some restructuring of education funding.
And congratulations to new Linn County Auditor Joel Miller who won a 26 point victory over the GOP and a clear majority in a six candidate field. Your next election night will be less celebrating and more work...
