Corridor voters back Cedar Rapids council and tax plan
The Gazette notes Cedar Rapids voters re elected incumbents Pat Shey Kris Gulick and Mayor Ron Corbett with a runoff needed for Swore. A 62 percent approval extended the 1 percent local option sales tax for 10 years to fund street repairs. Coralville and Iowa City results favored incumbents and a decisive defeat of the 21-only bar ordinance in Iowa City. Kingsley Botchway II's at large win signals significance for diversity.
