School tax & Rowland win big in primary

The Bowling Green School District income tax renewal has passed overwhelmingly.

With 100 percent of the vote in, the income tax is ahead 75 percent (1,939 votes) to 25 percent (647).

Sandy Rowland easily outpaced a four-candidate field for two Democratic spots for council at large on the November ballot. Her 1001 votes were more than twice her nearest competitor.

Holly Cipriani held a slim 11-vote lead over third place candidate Mark Hollenbaugh, 423-411. Robert Piasecki with 266 votes came in fourth.

A first-ever Green Party primary for the council at large drew 123 voters.

Beverly Ann Elwazani was the top Green votegetter with 41 votes. Carolyn S. Kawecka with 32 and Helen Kay Dukes with 30 were neck and neck for the second Green line. Rosamond L. McCallis received 20 votes.
