Voters cast their support in three New England states for ballot measures that include support for school renovations in Rhode Island, repair, and maintenance of public infrastructure in Massachusetts and construction of a new high school in Vermont.
Rhode Island ballot initiatives to issue $250 million in bonds to construct and renovate public school buildings and $100 million in bonds for the University of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay campus were expected to pass with with overwhelming approval on Nov. 9, when approximately 92% of votes were in about 24 hours after polls closed.
