Garden City voters face sales tax extension and three city seats
In ten days Garden City will elect three city commissioners and decide whether to extend a half cent sales tax for ten more years. All five candidates back the extension to keep property taxes stable and fund transportation. The tax, first approved in 1994 and renewed in 2005, would run to 2025 if approved, generating about 2.8 million in 2018 dollars and roughly 17 mills on a 150000 home.
