Special summer Charleston election hinted for levy and ward plan
Charleston officials indicate a late summer special election to renew the city excess levy for three years, with ward reapportionment possibly on the ballot. The levy, approved since 1934, funds equipment, street repairs and capital projects, totaling about $541000 annually. A ward reallocation could be tied to constitutional amendments on the November ballot, a combination officials fear may reduce turnout or support.
