So, you may be asking what the heck do the August election referendums actually mean? Join us to find out. Many time referendums seem to be written in a convoluted way. Many times, they
seem to actually mean the opposite of how they are written. Join us to find out what the referendums on the August ballot mean. That way when you vote you are aware of the you are voting for as well as the consequences. The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League was founded in 1920 by Carrie Chapman Catt who was born in Ripon, Wisconsin. Note: A minority of members of the Ripon City Council as well as the Ripon Area Fire District may be attending this meeting. No discussion or action will be taken regarding city or district business.
