Tax Vote Expands Pool Funding With One Year Sales Tax
Bertram and Prairieburg residents may fund Cedar Rapids area pools via a one year option sales tax rather than issuing 16 million dollars in bonds paid by property taxes. The plan would draw outside shoppers. groceries and prescription drugs are not taxed. A mid June Gazette poll shows 61 percent of likely voters in the Cedar Rapids metro area favor the tax, 24 percent oppose, 15 percent undecided, with a 5.1 point margin of error. SPLASH committee member Voss urges turnout and cautions against complacency. The Cedar Rapids Marion Hiawatha and Robins metro area is affected.
