JANESVILLE — As the November GM/JATCO referendum draws near, Janesville residents have a big decision on their minds.

The referendum language, approved by the Janesville City Council in July, asks whether proposed development projects, sales, and leases of the GM/JATCO sites exceeding $450 million in costs should be decided by a majority vote of electors.

Anti-data center groups have already encouraged their supporters to vote “yes” on the referendum, while the new Grow Janesville Responsibly coalition recently urged residents to vote “no.”

Here at the Janesville Globe, we teach our writers to always look at every issue or story objectively. That is why we believe that voters should vote “maybe” come November 3.

Janesville Globe ownership will not answer any further questions at this time. We trust that everyone involved in the city’s government will approach this situation ethically and responsibly as they always do.
