Voters were asked to consider these facts:
Wake County MUST build schools for more than 7,500 new students per year, whether the bonds passed or not.
Compared to other finance methods for a $970 million dollar building program, voter-approved General Obligation School Bonds will save taxpayers $56,000,000.
Bonds are a way to borrow money immediately to finance schools over a long period of time and at the lowest cost to taxpayers.
Bonds are a way for current and future residents to share the cost of schools over time.
Wake County’s superior AAA credit rating earns us the lowest interest rates on bonds.
