SEDGEWICKVILLE -- Bollinger County residents in the Sedgewickville Fire Protection District voted against having a higher tax levy assessed this year.
The special election proposal was rejected by district residents in a 260-185 vote.
This was the second appearance for the proposal on the ballot this year. It failed in the April elections.
If the measure had passed, residents in the Sedgewickville Fire Protection District would have been assessed a tax levy of 30 cents per $100 assessment. The funds raised would have been used to support the fire district.
