I had missed this in my reading.  Here is the text from page 33:

"Local governments could impose new health, safety, or land use
 regulations on private schools only upon a two-thirds vote by
 the local governing body and approval in an election by a majority
 of all the people in the affected area who are registered to vote."

You are correct - that is an impossible requirement to meet under
normal circumstances.

I tend to support the idea of vouchers, but I am leary of poorly
worded laws.  This piece of information just shifted me over to
the opposition.  I will vote NO on 174.
