LEVY QUESTION COMES AT A COST

The Williams County Soil and Water Con­ser­va­tion Dis­trict has placed a levy on the May 7 spe­cial elec­tion bal­lot, which they say will bring in $271,000 annu­ally if passed.

The res­o­lu­tion has been filed, but because the May bal­lot is a spe­cial elec­tion, Soil and Water will need to pay the costs of the elec­tion.

The Bryan Times reports that the bal­lots alone will cost between $5,500 to $6,000; legal adver­tis­ing approx­i­mately $400; precinct kits, $300; equip­ment deliv­ery, $400 to $500; and memory/mobile bal­lot box and reg­is­tra­tion lists between $500 and $1,000.
