Town government petition seeks county control for Winnemaca
Taxpayers and residents of Winnemaca circulate a petition asking County Commissioners to place the town under an act for town and city government. The law requires a majority of residents and three-fifths of taxable property to authorize action. The measure would grant levy powers akin to Reno and allow limited special taxes for town purposes. Many signatures have already been gathered.
