Unofficial results Tuesday night show 12,414 “no” votes and 4,797 “yes” votes for Proposition 1.

As previously reported, the $1.15 tax increase would have generated an additional $11.5 million dollars in revenue each year and cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $218.50 per year in taxes.
