Local Notes
If you haven’t already, make sure you get out and vote before the end of the day.
Today’s special election will determine whether Fayetteville’s 1-cent sales tax will be renewed for another 10 years.
So far, 67 percent of Flyer readers are in favor of extending the 18-year-old tax which accounts for about $15.4 million in Fayetteville’s general and capital improvement funds.
