Chanute Voters Face Two Ballot Measures On Tuesday
Chanute residents will see two questions on the general election ballot. One asks approval or rejection of a countywide one half cent sales tax, the other seeks to change the City Commission from three to five members. City officials say the sales tax would raise about 140000 annually and shift the burden to those with higher spending, while utility rate increases would affect all residents. Mayor Oscar Cunningham supports letting voters decide, noting both issues deserve public input.
