Special Election Planned in Laurie to Resolve Use Tax Tie

Laurie voters will return to the polls to decide the use tax ballot issue.  Voting in Tuesday’s election ended in a tie.  Laurie Mayor Herb Keck says state law requires another vote to decide the issue.  The ballot language is already being prepared by the Morgan County Clerk’s Office and a special election may take place in June.  The use tax question failed by a wide margin the first time it was on the ballot, last August.
