One-quarter income tax passes; Bluffton GOP pick Santorum over Romney
Bluffton voters overwhelmingly approved a one-quarter percent income tax levy, unofficially 556 for and 248 against on March 6. The yes votes means the village will use the revenue collected over the next 15 years for water and sewer capital improvements.
The tax will start in January 2013, just as the current one-quarter percent tax on the town hall comes off.
