Yes, we typically vote often on how our tax dollars are to be spent. Just last November, our county had a vote regarding a use tax for online out of state purchases. We rejected that one too.
Also voted last year to approve a 3/8th cent tax to fund the public bus system.
That's just a couple I can remember from last year. So, yes this is typical for Jackson county voters deciding how to spend our taxes.
