A half-cent sales tax for the city of Bonner Springs passed today, according to Wyandotte County Election Commissioner Bruce Newby.
Newby said the sales tax, a renewal of an existing sales tax, passed 692 to 528. The sales tax passed with 56.72 percent in favor.
Out of 4,128 registered voters, 1,221 cast ballots in the mail-in election, he said.
The results are unofficial until they are certified. Noon today was the deadline to get ballots to the election commission office.
The Bonner Springs city manager’s office did not immediately have a comment on the passage of the sales tax, and was waiting for official notification to make a comment.
