Bonds defeated in Sunnyside, Wash.
- Voters in the Sunnyside (Wash.) district have rejected a second bond issue proposal that would have paid for improvements for Sunnyside High School's athletic facility and auditorium. The $1.95 million proposal needed 60-percent voter approval; the vote tally Tuesday night showed only 53.4 percent voted for the measure. The proposal was a pared-down version of the $3.95 million Sunnyside School District bond issue voters rejected last May. District officials say the defeat could lead to cuts in academic programs to pay for new bleachers.
