Election proposed in hurry on new county tax law
A special voluntary election will be held in all precincts on December 12 to gauge county support for repealing the new tax reassessment act. Officials aim to inform lawmakers to seek repeal at the next session, with ballot boxes prepared in Conway and ballots distributed to precincts. The act intended to bring all property onto the tax books but is feared to raise taxes for farmers and small businesses.
