Calhoun voters passed an Emergency Services levy, which will support one ambulance with 24/7 coverage to the county, in addition to supporting the three fire departments and supplementing the salary for a deputy sheriff.
67% of the voters supported the levy with 710 voting for and 32% voting against with 347 votes.
The Prosecutor Salary supplement levy failed, 61% voting against with 642 votes, with 406 voting for the levy at 38%.
The Calhoun Commission will have to come up with supplemental funds for a full time prosecutor, likely making budget cuts for other areas. |
