Dedicated sales tax reauthorization passes

Flower Mound voters approved the ten-year reauthorization of the Crime District and Fire District dedicated sales taxes and the four-year reauthorization of the Street Maintenance dedicated sales tax on Tuesday.

Originally approved by voters in 2007, the three taxes contribute one-quarter of one cent to street maintenance, one-quarter of one cent to crime control, and one-quarter of one cent to fire control.

Unofficial results:

Sales Tax                         Against                       For
