WTC President Dr. Jeffrey Rafn keeps in his office a tongue-in-
cheek illustration of what his school's proposed referendum will
cost the average taxpayer: A six-pack of Mountain Dew and a
package of Oreos.

cost about $7.50 in taxes annually on a $150,000 piece of property. But far more
serious is what the referendum could cost if it fails.
