GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Guilford County asked voters, once again, to vote on a quarter-cent sales tax increase.
A whopping 59% of ballots cast were against the increase, with only 40% voting in favor.
This particular referendum has failed multiple times in the last several years.
The sales tax hike was intended to benefit Guilford County schools, the use of the funds is not allowed to be listed on the ballot, according to Dr. Whitney Oakley, Superintendent of Guilford County Schools.
