South Charleston And Hurricane Levies Pass
WEST VIRGINIA....
Voters in South Charleston and Hurricane headed to the polls Saturday to decide whether to renew their annual levies. In South Charleston, voters overwhelmingly said yes to a tax that has been in place since 1947. 672 people voted yes and 19 voted against it. The levy makes up $1.2 million of the city's budget, paying for things like police and fire protection, library services and public works. In Hurricane, the levy passed by a narrow margin...241 voted for their city's levy while 138 voted against it, saying yes for the next five years. The levy needed at least 60% to pass, and it only got 63%.
