Measure I Voting Deadline Is Tonight.

Estimated revenue from the tax is projected to be around one point two million dollars a year. Measure I must pass with a two thirds majority

Results from the election should be tabulated shortly after the deadline of 8 tonight.

If it passes, the sales tax increase would go into effect January 1st.
