Among the general election losers Tuesday are local school referendums. Voters in two central Indiana communities said "no" to property tax increases to help fund their public schools. Kokomo Schools asked property owners for $6.1 million a year in additional revenue from property taxes. The money was targeted for enhanced academic programs, upgrades to technology, and the biggest chunk – $4 million – for staff salaries. But voters in Kokomo said "no" by more than a 2-to-1 margin, with 68% rejecting the referendum. Voters in the Twin Lakes School Corporation in Monticello also rejected a referendum for $3.5 million a year. Sixty-six percent of voters said "no."
