How did bond questions do in RI's election? Here's the breakdown.

Nine Rhode Island communities approved big spending on schools, a new EMS station and more during Tuesday's general election, but rejected investments in public safety complex, a police station and a new middle school. Separately, Central Falls approved several changes to its city Charter rooted in equity and diversity.

Here's how each bond did:

Did Barrington's bond question pass?

The question: Would voters approve $250 million in school construction and improvements?

The answer: Yes. 63.1% of voters were in favor while 36.9% were against.

How much taxes will increase: According to the online calculator on the building committee's website, a resident whose home is assessed at $680,000 – the median sale price in Barrington – will see their annual tax bill go up by $1,306.

Did the Bristol/Warren bond question pass?

The question: Would voters approve $200 million in school construction and improvements?

The answer: Yes. In Bristol, 66.6% of voters were in favor while 33.4% were against. In Warren, 65.5% were in favor and 34.5% were against.

How much taxes will increase: Bristol residents will see a $240 increase in the annual tax bill for a home valued at $500,000, the median sale price of a single-family house. In Warren, a property valued at the median sale price of $409,950 would see a $340 annual tax increase, according to the calculator available on the school district's website.

Did the Central Falls ballot questions pass?

The questions: Central Falls had three, all of which would amend the city Charter in different ways.

The first question would explicitly ban discrimination, eliminate gendered language and emphasize equity, inclusivity and nondiscrimination.

The second question would allow the city's Police and Fire Departments to giving hiring preference to veterans, residents and multilinguists.

The third question would modernize Central Falls' election laws, which are outdated and don't conform to state laws.

The answer: A resounding yes to all three. The first question saw 86% of voters approve and 14% reject. The second saw 83.9% approve and 16.1% reject. The third saw 87.5% approve and 12.5% reject.

Did the Cumberland bond question pass?

The question: Would voters approve $52 million in school construction and improvements?

The answer: Yes. 68.4% of voters approved and 31.6% were opposed.

How much taxes will increase: The tax increase for a $440,000 home will translate to $132, Mayor Jeff Mutter wrote in an email. However, he said, Cumberland has existing debt coming off the books, which will reduce the impact of the new bond. When that's factored in, the increase comes down to about $79 on a $440,000 home.

Did the East Greenwich bond question pass?

The question: Would voters approve $150 million in school construction and improvements?

The answer: Yes. 69.2% of voters were in favor and 30.8% were opposed.

How much taxes will increase: "There is no clear answer to this question due to the many variables, including project and debt management decisions that will be made up until the point of debt issuance in the next few years," Town Manager Andrew Nota wrote in an email.

Did the Lincoln bond questions pass?

The questions: There were two: Would voters approve $25 million in school construction and improvements, and approve $14 million to build a new central rescue station that would essentially combine two existing EMS stations in Albion and Lonsdale?

The answer: Yes to both. On the first question, 76.8% of voters approved and 23.2% were opposed. On the second, 71.3% approved and 28.7% were opposed.

How much taxes will increase: Town Administrator Phi Gould said in an email that that the town's goal is to avoid any tax increase from the two bonds.

"This is because bond proposals of $25 million for the elementary schools and $14 million for the Centralized Rescue Station are coming at a time where we will be retiring debt on a previous middle school bond, and we intend to take advantage of temporary state incentives," he wrote. "This will result in the same debt-service payment amounts that we are currently making, but just for these new projects."

Did the Middletown bond question pass?

The question: Would voters approve $190 million in school construction and improvements?

The answer: Yes, narrowly, with 51.5% of voters in favor and 48.5% against.

How much taxes will increase: A detailed fiscal analysis available on the town's website indicates that the tax bill for a home valued at $650,000 will go up by about $709 in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, and up by more than $1,000 a year after that. Homeowners who are not full-time residents will see a slightly larger increase.

Did the North Kingstown bond questions pass?

The question: There were two: Would voters approve about $222.5 million for a new middle school and a new public-safety complex? And would voters approve a new $25-million recreation center that could also be used as an emergency shelter?

The answer: No to both. On the first question, 61.8% of voters were opposed and 38.2% were in favor. On the second, 64.5% were opposed and 35.5% in favor.

Did the North Smithfield bond question pass?

The question: Would voters approve $18 million to either build a new police station or renovate an existing building to use as a station?

The answer: No. 61.6% of voters rejected the spending and 38.4% supported it.
