In our Oct. 18 issue, we ran a listing of all 24 bond, maintenance override and district additional assistance overrides for school districts in Maricopa County. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we are repeating that list and updating it with the latest results – as of 6 a.m. Nov. 17 – from this month’s general election. (AZBEX; Oct. 18)
