Mercer County debate centers on whether the county board of education improperly placed the school levy on the ballot without state auditor approval and state board of finance consent. Muzzleman and Bolin argue code noncompliance and lack of documentation, while Commissioner Puckett notes multiple levying bodies and independent school board authority. Prosecuting Attorney Cochran will review applicable state codes.
