(KLZA)-- A one-and-a-half percent sales tax proposal in Humboldt has failed.  

The remainder of the early ballots and the provisional ballots were counted Wednesday afternoon and the proposal was defeated 140 votes against the tax with 138 votes in favor of the sales tax. 

None of the results were changed by the additional votes.

Third District County Commissioner Terry Frank was defeated in his reelection bid by Rick Karas of Dawson 377 to 307.  Karas will face Democrat Philip Hitchcock of Verdon in the November General Election.

Second District Commissioner David Sickel has won a  fourth term in office.  Sickel received 346 votes.  Jonathan Kirkendall received 129 votes and Les Baker 121 in the Republican Primary.  No Democrats filed for the position. 

There were no changes in the election of a Village Board member in Shubert.  Tomas Borrego received 46 votes to 9 for Bobby Hammer.
