Bond Issue Carries Would Slightly Raise Sidney Taxes
A $17 500 bond issue to fund a city park swimming pool would raise property taxes by less than $1.60 for a $2 100 valued property in the first year, with smaller increases in subsequent years. May or Roche state figures show the ten year cost is barely noticeable on average tax statements and that pool benefits would boost local trade and revenue. The June 18 bond election faces continued pro pool support amid opposition.
