City Schools Tax Election Moves Ahead on Thursday
Monroe voters go to the polls Thursday to decide two tax propositions for city public schools. A 2.5 mill levy would fund 1937 1938 maintenance needs beyond the expiring tax, while a 4 mill levy would cover 1939 1946. Only property owners may vote, and each ballot must be signed with the voter’s property assessment. The election requires both a majority of property assessments and a majority of votes to pass, per the attorney general’s ruling clarifying voter eligibility since the 1936 assessment.
