• Midterm elections bring wave of referendums to suburban voters (dailyherald.com) — St. Charles residents will soon vote on a $282.5 million borrowing plan for District 303 that would significantly raise property taxes while funding major upgrades at every school, including a new field house at St. Charles North. The article also outlines other large school, library, and fire station tax referendums across the suburbs, but the District 303 proposal would most directly affect St. Charles homeowners and families.
