TOLONO – The Unit 7 school board unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday to again put the countywide sales tax pro- posal before voters in the April 7, 2009, consolidated election.
The proposal to increase the sales tax rate in Champaign County by 1 percent was defeated in the Nov. 4 election by 262 votes out of 76,820 cast. One board member noted that more than 6,200 people voting in the general election did not even vote on the county tax proposal.
