Sharon Township votes down broadband proposal

Today Sharon Township voted on and decisively rejected a Broadband Bond Proposal that would have borrowed up to $4,900,000 to be paid back over 20 years and would have run fiber optic cable to every house in the township allowing every resident access to broadband internet. The thoroughly debated measure failed 597 No (65.17%) to 319 Yes (34.83%) with a strong 60.62% voter turnout.
