Just a Note
By Shari Frank, LWVBC President
Hey – Does your Vote Matter?
Close races say YES, IT ABSOLUTELY DOES!
What makes you want to vote?
What do you care about? Schools? Air Quality? Water Quality? Health Care? The right to privacy? The freedom for doctors and patients to make decisions about reproductive health care? Gun safety? Lots of important stuff is on the ballot this election. OK, every election. But this one is critical if we care about protecting rights that are under threat and restoring rights that have been taken away.
How many votes does it take to make a difference?
In the May 2022 Brown County Primary Election, less than 25% voted. That’s right. Just 3,163 people voted out of 12,781 registered voters. In the 2018 General Election, voter turnout was about 61%. One County race was won by 112 votes! Others were won by a mere 211 to 427 votes. Do you think your vote can make a difference? In 2020 the Brown County Voter turnout was about 72%. Can we beat that in 2022?
Indiana voter turnout is consistently near the bottom of the nation. In 2020, Indiana turnout was 65%. In 2018 Indiana turnout was 51%. How can we do better? Commit to take 5 friends to vote? Talk, talk, talk to your friends and groups. What else can we do?
Who’s on the ballot?
Did you know we have a brand new District for State Representative? Brown County is in a NEW District for our Indiana State Representative. We are now in District 62. We have two new candidates running to represent us. And two new candidates for our US House District 9!
What do you know about the candidates? Where can you find out what they think? Have you checked out VOTE411.org? Next week, Brown County candidates will be on Vote411. All candidates are asked questions to let voters know what they stand for. Check it out. If you don’t see a candidate’s responses there, contact them to ask them to answer the questions in Vote411.org . Let them know you want to know what they have to say.
Check your voter registration by October 11th - www.Indianavoters.in.gov
Why bother checking your voter registration? Another person just reported they can’t get into their voter portal. Locked out. Error message. Unknown cause. Don’t wait to find out if your voter portal is working or not. And make sure your address, mailing address and name are correct! Update it now before Registration closes October 11th so you can be sure you will be able to VOTE!
Let’s vote like our life depends on it. Because the decisions made by our elected representatives impact our lives every day.

Upcoming BC Schools Referendum – Impact and Background
Submitted by Emily Tracy, Superintendent, Brown County Schools
Brown County Schools are asking our community to support our schools on November 8, 2022. I have provided important information regarding the operating referendum that will support Brown County Schools. I am hopeful you will reach out to me if you would like additional information. Thank you for your support of our school district, Brown County Schools, and for believing in our vision to provide World Class opportunities, Small School Relationships, and Life Long Impact for our students and future Brown County generations.
Why do Brown County Schools need a referendum?
We are currently in year seven of our current referendum. We are seeking to replace that eight penny rate on the November 2022 ballot and increase it by four pennies, for a total of twelve pennies per $100 of assessed property value. If we do not successfully pass the referendum, we will be forced to absorb approximately $1,200,000 back into our budget, which we cannot do while also continuing to provide highly effective student experiences, student outcomes, and athletic programs. We have chosen to run the vote in November rather than May 2023 because to do so in May would require an expensive special election.
The State strictly limits how we can spend the dollars we receive based on student enrollment numbers. We do not receive funding for preschool students or adult education students, ONLY K-12 students. Brown County Schools currently supports the Adult Education Career Resource Center in Nashville, and in collaboration with the BC Community Foundation, we support the new Early Childhood Center. These State dollars also cannot be used to pay staff at our BCS campuses like custodians, office secretaries, principals, nurses, bus drivers. However, we are able to use the money from the operating referendum to directly support these vital programs and staff. The cost to provide a quality education and safe learning environment to our students, as well as competitive salary and benefits to our teachers and staff has increased since the last referendum vote in 2016.
The referendum dollars will be prioritized in the following ways:
- Provide competitive teacher wages and benefits
- Provide competitive support staff wages and benefits
- Provide innovative programming for our Arts, Athletics, and Academics
- Provide support for the BCS Career Resource Center of Adult Education in Nashville
- Provide support for the Early Childhood Center in Nashville
What will happen if the referendum is not passed?
If the community votes not to support our schools, we will be forced to significantly reduce programming and services across academics, the arts, and athletics; freeze salary and wages for staff; and cut jobs across the district.
If the referendum fails in November, we will be forced to increase class sizes, eliminate teaching positions, and make major changes to our academic and student support programs. Our valuable programs that offer career education, summer internships, and other educational options will be drastically reduced. Our Career Resource Center, Early Childhood, Business and Entrepreneurship, and elementary science programs will face substantial cuts. Finally, programs in our theater, art, and music extracurricular activities will be cut. And our athletics program will face an uncertain future.
What will happen if the community supports (passes) the referendum?
Brown County Schools can:
- Offer competitive wages and benefits for prospective teachers and staff in order to recruit and retain the best of the best for Brown County students (this includes certified teachers, support staff, and transportation staff);
- Ensure innovative programming and support small class sizes;
- Reinstate our Career and Technical Education courses, such as construction, trades, manufacturing, etc.; and
- Sustain the addition of a much-needed Community Early Childhood Education Center in Nashville.
Misleading Language On The Ballot
The referendum language on the November ballot reads as follows: “Shall Brown County Schools increaseproperty taxes paid to the school corporation by homeowners and businesses for eight (8) years immediately following the holding of the referendum for the purpose of funding the Taxpayer Investment Plan which will include providing for teacher and staff salaries, benefits and programs, Birth-5 program, and funding the Career Resource Center? If this public question is approved by the voters, the average property tax paid to the school corporation per year on a residence would increase by 33.91% and the average property tax paid to the school corporation per year on a business property would increase by 20.91%. The most recent property tax referendum proposed by the school corporation was held in 2016 and passed.”
Indiana Code dictates the language of a referendum question. A portion of the question must state an estimated average percentage of property tax increase on a residence and on a business. The calculation process uses the average rate across all taxing districts within the school corporation. The calculation results in the average homeowner in Brown County Schools realizing a 33.91% increase in the school portion of their total tax rate; and the average business property owner in Brown County Schools realizing a 20.91% increase in the school portion of their total tax rate.
Since these percentages are based upon “averages” and not actual tax rates paid by taxpayers, a true cost to each individual taxpayer can be obtained by using the tax calculator on the referendum website. Visit the 2022 Referendum webpage to calculate YOUR adjusted tax rate.

On the Ballot: Judge Retentions
Have you ever wondered about Indiana’s system for putting judges on the ballot? It’s an interesting system, intended to maintain impartiality of judges yet allow for accountability. Judges are recommended by a commission, then approved by the Governor. The accountability aspect occurs when the judges are put on the ballot at prescribed intervals for the public to weigh in.
For the General Election on November 8, 2022, Brown County will have two judges on the ballot:
- Court of Appeals Judicial Retention Fifth District: Shall Judge Nancy H. Vaidik be retained in office?
- Court of Appeals Judicial Retention First District: Shall Judge Leanna K. Weissmann be retained in office?

Report of Hoosier Action Town Hall Meeting September 14
Submitted by LWVBC Secretary Pam Raider
A few weeks ago, a group called Hoosier Action contacted LWVBC with the possibility of partnering on a Town Hall meeting they wanted to host in Nashville. They liked that fact that we are nonpartisan and respected our expertise on voting issues. Members of our League Board met by Zoom with officers from Hoosier Action and agreed to participate by hosting a table and bring voting materials.
The partnership seemed advantageous to both groups. Hoosier Action has been around since 2017 and already achieved a few legislative victories. Their work consists of hearing from residents the needs and major problems of a community, organizing and empowering citizens to take action, and putting pressure on their congress people. This was a big part of the message of the Town Hall meeting.
| The Hoosier Action Nashville Town Hall Meeting was held in our library on Wednesday September 14. That night, we learned interesting facts relating our state’s response to the Supreme Court reversal of Roe vs Wade - the special session passing SB1 and SB2. SB1 bans abortion completely except for rape, incest, and the health of the mother and those have restrictions. SB2 authorized $45 million to help deal with consequences of more pregnancies; probably not enough since it will be shared by multiple entities. |
Unsure how this legislation would be received, the Republicans had previously taken a poll of constituents and discovered some 80% of Hoosiers were against changing the existing law to ban abortions. It was not smooth sailing for the Republicans who usually caucus behind closed doors and emerge as a united front. This time there were major disagreements and dissenters.
Meanwhile, this same state legislature smoothly authorized $50 million for a new Swine Barn at the State Fair, a “telling” juxtaposition.
Going into the meeting I knew Indiana was near the bottom of US states in terms of quality maternal care but did not know that 33 counties in the state have no maternal care clinics. Currently two lawsuits have been filed against the abortion ban, one regarding privacy laws and the other over freedom of religion.
At the meeting we teamed up to discuss what made us angry, fearful and hopeful. After sharing with the group, we all listed concerns faced by Brown County – declining school enrollment, lack of affordable housing and good paying jobs, and pockets of poverty (about 50% of school children qualify for free or reduced lunch).
To counter the influence of money on the system is the power of people uniting to affect change. Federal Congressional District 9 (that was represented by Trey Hollingsworth) and State Representative District 62 have no incumbent running – we have a good shot at making a real difference. Since 2020 census redistricting, District 62 now incorporates Brown County and most of Monroe County (but not Bloomington proper).
Hoosier Action gives training in how to talk to people which they do in various ways, such as door knocking, phone banks, texting, and virtual text banks with the goal of building a new voting bloc.
Many attendees expressed how good it felt to be talking about issues in a group, and have their feelings and thoughts listened to. I think most of us came away a little more hopeful and energized.

News from LWVBC Health Care Committee
Submitted by Cathy Rountree, LWVBC Board Member and Co-Chair of Health Care Committee
Members of the Committee are working with the National League health care discussion group Health Care Reform for the U.S. (HCR4US). Current issues under discussion in HCR4US include advancing understanding of the Health Care Position Concurrence, passed at the 2022 National League convention, and educating the public about new programs affecting the traditional Medicare program.
The Health Care Position Concurrence clarifies and updates the Health Care Position that was enacted in 1993 and updated around mental health issues in 2016. LWVBC Health Care Committee members are working with State leadership and the HCR4US leadership on a presentation for State League Members.
Traditional Medicare programs are currently being changed, without the consent of participants, from a “fee-for-service” model to a “capitation” program. The essential difference between these two models is that, rather than providers being paid for health care services actually provided to a client, the providers receive a fixed amount from CMS for each recipient on their patient panel. The provider is able to keep a portion – reports have said up to 40% -- of the funds allocated and not spent. This change was instituted under a program that doesn’t require legislative approval. We are exploring ways to make the public aware of these changes and their implications.
LWVBC Health Care Committee members also are participating, with State League Women’s Health Advocates, in the Health Advocacy and Privacy Alliance, a group working to protect access to the full range of reproductive health services. We learned of two lawsuits that had been filed in Indiana in response to the recent Indiana law limiting abortion services. One of the suits is grounded in the rights of privacy and access to health care, the other in religious freedom. Other groups continue to work to offer services and support to people affected by the new Indiana legislation.
Locally, we discussed the $500,000 grant received through the efforts of several Brown County organizations, including Centerstone and the Brown County Recovery and Wellness Coalition (BCRAWC) to address issues around family trauma, addiction and incarceration. The impact of this grant is already being felt in services being offered people who are incarcerated to treat substance use disorder and link individuals and families with a variety of services. For more information: https://indianaeconomicdigest.net/MobileContent/Default/All-The-News-Digest/Article/-500-000-grant-for-Brown-County-mental-health-efforts-goes-to-meeting-people-where-they-are-/-3/5310/11203
At the last meeting of the BCRAWC, a representative of a Bartholomew County recovery and transitional housing program discussed their program design and how Brown County might be able to establish a similar program.
The next Health Care Committee meeting will be Friday, October 7 from 2:00-3:00. Please contact Cathy Rountree at teesnospas@yahoo.com if you are interested in attending.

I was searching for something on a shelf but didn’t bother to turn on the light (there was a small window at ground level). I heard something plop onto the floor and reached down to retrieve it. That’s when I was bitten by tiny teeth. I thought it was a chipmunk or mouse and went over to turn on the light. It was a 3 1/2 foot water snake. I’m sure everyone who lives here has a snake story—perhaps they should all be gathered into a book!
