SILO Wins Johnson, Linn, Democrat Miller Wins Linn Auditor

SILO Wins Johnson, Linn; Democrat Miller Wins Linn Auditor

Quick 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...
