The same tactic is used here locally. Everytime a levy fails they immediately "recycle" it for another ballot. Often without change! Since there is no rule about levies that fail having to "wait" and it's govt doing the proposing, we have ballot after ballot until the levy passes. They either wear us down or "sneak" it by having the ballot on a off day with minimal notice. HInt: A 3 year levy that get's "modfied" to a 2 year levy in NOT a reduction as they simply put up ANOTHER levy in 2 years. Grrrrrrrr As long as it’s someone else’s money this will NEVER end.
