A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Oak Creek Ballot Issue 2A would raise the town sales tax rate by 2.00%, or two cents on each dollar, starting January 1, 2027. It would raise $400,000 a year at first, and more in later years. All of the new revenue would go into the general fund and be spent only on building and rehabilitating capital improvements. A YES vote approves the increase. A NO vote keeps the current rate.
