PHIL PU'I'l<!AN "We plan to have another one\" was the answer Dr. Phil Putman gave when asked what was going to be done about the recent bond election failure. He feels that the reason the issue failed was becuase of the poor turn out of voters. Only 14% of the Vista voters and 10% of the Escondido voters turned out. "If we could get 20 or 25% of the voters out we probably will have the 2/3 majority needed to pass it," he explained.
