The Calhoun Commission has set March 6, 2004 for the Emergency Services
Special Election, which provides funding for county ambulance service, county fire
departments, a deputy sheriff and some funding for the Office of Emergency
Services.
The Commission had intended to run the levy during the May Primary, but because
of legal stipulations, it must be held earlier.
County Clerk Richard Kirby said it will
be on Saturday, allowing voters better access. No excuse absentee voting will also
be open to voters.
County Commissioner Larry McCallister said the levy will not raise taxes. With a
change in the law, the levy will be in effect for five years.
Levy money is essential to continuing to provide emergency services to county
residents.
