Bonneville. Ten-year, $38 million plant facilities levy:
failed. Two-year, $13.6 million supplemental levy:
failed.
In the largest election of the night, voters rejected a pair of increased levies.
The plant facilities levy received only 41 percent support, well below the 60 percent supermajority threshold. The supplemental levy received 42 percent support; all supplementals need only a simple majority to pass.

BOISE Voters in more than a third of Idaho’s school districts have decisions on March 9: Do they want to approve or renew bond issues or property tax levies for schools?
All told, 45 of Idaho’s 115 school districts will run ballot measures totaling more than $298.2 million. (One year ago, when the March election coincided with presidential primaries, 41 districts sought $174 million in levies.)
So while the March 9 elections are no record-setter in March 2017, voters decided on a whopping $715 million in bonds and levies it’s nonetheless a big day for school districts looking to bankroll building projects or put money into teacher pay or day-to-day operations during a pandemic.
