BALLOT QUESTIONS
PROPOSITION 1
Shall the County of Lincoln renew the imposition of a countywide sales tax, exactly as previously approved in April, 2006, at the same rate of one-half of one percent (1/2%) for a period of ten years from the date of expiration of the ó% tax for Road and Bridge maintenance and repair? This is not a tax increase, nor is it a new tax.

Special Bond Election Information

 CITY OF TROY PROPOSITION C
Shall the City of Troy, Missouri continue applying and collecting the local sales tax on the titling of motor vehicles, trailers, boats and outboard motors that were purchased from a source other than a licensed Missouri dealer?  Rejection of this measure will result in a reduction of local revenue to provide for vital services for the City of Troy, Missouri and it will place Missouri dealers of motor vehicles, outboard motors, boats and trailers at a competitive disadvantage to non-Missouri dealers of motor vehicles, outboard motors, boats and trailers?
WHAT DOES A YES  OR NO VOTE MEAN?
A “Yes” vote means the existing tax will continue and NO new tax will be implemented.
A “No” vote means that local sales taxes will only be collected on eligible in-state purchases.  Local sales tax collections on eligible out-of-state purchases will end and the revenues the City is currently receiving will be lost.
