Shall the School City of Beech Grove increase property taxes paid to the school corporation for no more than eight (8) years for the purpose of funding the Beech Grove City Schools: Believe in our Future initiative, by continuing existing essential student services, including school bus transportation, school facilities maintenance, and student safety and security services, including School Resource Officers, by imposing a property tax rate that does not exceed fifty-seven cents ($0.57) and results in a maximum annual amount that does not exceed $4,400,000? If this operating referendum public question is approved by the voters, for a median residence of $200,000, the property's annual property tax bill would increase by $493 per year.

How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: High · 78 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 14,506 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(6,851,073 ÷ 14,506) ÷ ln(50,000) = 78.46, measured against a statewide vote in IN (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: High.
