In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Orchard City Ballot Issue 2B would add a town sales tax of 0.75% starting January 1, 2027. The tax would raise $210,000.00 a year at first, plus whatever more it brings in later. The money would go to the general fund to pay for town operations, including better town services, hiring and keeping employees, and road maintenance. A YES vote approves the tax. A NO vote means the tax is not added.
