Buchanan County’s Presiding Commissioner says voters will get another chance to renew the capital improvement sales tax. They turned it down by a 60 to 40 percent margin August 2nd after the county removed a sunset clause that had been in place nearly 25 years. RT Turner says there’s not much chance they’d go again without a sunset clause.
The quarter-cent capital improvement sales tax is now set to expire at the end of 2012 unless voters renew it before then. Turner says the county will probably put it on the November ballot this year or the Presidential Primary ballot next year.
