11:26 AM: West Bend turnout slower than expected
West Bend City Clerk Amy Reuteman said as of about 11:30 a.m. about 10 percent had voted citywide, which she said was a little slow to this point. Reuteman had expected 50 percent based on two school referendums totaling asking voters to approve $69 million in additional spending.
Reuteman based her projection on 2007, the last time voters faced a referendum there. In that referendum, voters rejected $119 million in additional spending.
She said numbers could pick up after work hours.
