Wellington 1 Percent Tax Delayed Vote Blocked by Court
The Ninth District Court delayed ruling on a suit to force a referendum on Wellington’s 1 percent income tax, indicating insufficient time to place the issue on the November 3 ballot. A May primary or a November 1971 vote remains possible, with emergency ordinances already collecting about 90 000 dollars yearly. Citizens seek certification to the board of elections for a referendum while officials defend the emergency clause.
