..."I think any time you put all of the facts in front of the voters, the right decision will be reached," said Brian Christianson, district chairman. "We were completely transparent with all the research; we were completely transparent with all the data. I think the voters understand that this is a one-time increase in the special charge."

..."I was frankly shocked by the assessment-boating, navigation and property values were treated as minor and incidental things," said lake district attorney William O'Connor.
