Unofficial totals Saturday show citizens in favor of sales and use tax for Emergency Service District (ESD) 6.
According to early voting totals, the proposition to adopt a two percent sales and use tax for business and service sales in the ESD 6 garnered a strong citizen support; 69 percent of early voters were for the proposition compared to just 31 percent against. Early votes totaled 22 to 10.
Currently, the ESD is working with a budget of $218,160, which is supported by a property tax of .0835 cents per $100 valuation for the 2014-2015 year. If passed, ESD commissioners expect the added sales tax revenue would provide an estimated $54,000 for the ESD each year.
