(KLZA)-- By a 2-1 margin Auburn voters said no to increasing sales and use taxes to pay for a proposed $3-million community center.
Results of the special mail-in election were 775 “No” votes, to 386 “Yes” votes.
Voters in Auburn were asked to approve a half-cent sales tax increase to pay for the facility. Meetings, large receptions, basketball, volleyball and other events could have been housed in the facility.
The Nemaha County Clerks Office reports 61 percent of the registered voters cast a ballot in the special election.
The City of Auburn had an option on a property on the north side of Highway 136 near the bowling all where the facility would have been constructed.
