Elmore County Tax Hike Rejected!

Elmore County officials floated a plan: tacking on $150 per household and $300 per business annually. The goal? Patch up the crumbling prison and replace aging fire trucks. But voters gave a resounding "NO!"

Begging After Neglect?

It seems local leaders let things slide, allowing the jail and emergency equipment to deteriorate before finally pleading for cash.

Why the Rejection?

Voters clearly weren't feeling generous. Why would they hand over more money after what appears to be neglectful mismanagement?
