GALLATIN, Tenn. (AP) - Sumner County voters have rejected a wheel tax increase, following a two-week delay in schools opening over funding issues.
The referendum to raise the wheel tax by $25 per year failed Tuesday by more than 60%. The increase was projected to bring in nearly $3 million.
Westmoreland retiree Joann Brown told WPLN Radio retired people on fixed incomes can't afford it.
