Last fall, the district started the process of lowering the interest rate on the bond, essentially like UH¿QDQFLQJDKRXVHWRJHWD better interest rate. The pro- cess began in September, and the new loan closed in mid April. In the long run, taxpayers will pay less with the lower interest rate, something the district is hoping they will appreciate. “We want to show tax- payers that we are doing HYHU\WKLQJZHFDQWREH¿V- cally responsible with their money,” Durfey said.
