By Greg Bebermeyer

10/29/2012

( KNZA )-- Area voters will decide several special questions when they go to the polls Tuesday, November 6th.

In Doniphan County, voters will decide whether to allow establishments in the county to serve liquor by the drink.

The Doniphan County Commission voted in May to place the issue on the ballot.

If approved by voters, liquor by the drink would be allowed in establishments were food accounts for 30 percent of gross receipts.

The county last voted on a liquor-by-the-drink issue in November 1990, when a measure without the food sales requirement was defeated by 548 vote margin.

Voters in Atchison USD 409 will decide the fate of $8.8 million bond issue to fund improvements at the Atchison Middle School’s historic Roosevelt building, Atchison High School and High School Annex.

In Marysville, voters will decide whether a 6-tenths of a percent retailers sales tax should be imposed to fund construction of a new city pool.

If approved by voters, the new pool would replace the existing 60-year-old structure in the Marysville City Park.

The sales tax would include a 20-year sunset clause.

Statewide, Kansas residents will vote on a constitutional amendment that would give legislators the authority to reduce property taxes on boats.
