Local voters: No, No, No
Voters in Auburn, Opelika and Lee County rejected a 7-mill school tax increase in a special election Tuesday, sending school officials back to the drawing board. The largest percentage of voters against the special school ad valorem tax hike was in the unincorporated county, where just over 82 percent voted no. Turnout in Lee County was just over 10 percent. Lee County Schools Interim Superintendent Stephen Nowlin said the county board of education will reassess its priorities. "We have $50 to $60 million in building needs and there's just no way that we'll be able to come up with all of it," said Nowlin. He said the BOE may choose to not fill certain positions within the school system. In Opelika, 64 percent voted against the school tax increase.
