The future of a proposed income tax levy for the Village of Greenfield remains undecided following the Highland Board of Elections official count for the May 7th Special Election.
-
The proposed one-eighth percent income tax levy, intended for the maintenance of Greenfield Town Hall and economic development within the village, came out in a tie during the election at exactly 50-percent for and against.

“The vote previously at our unofficial count was 76-76,” said Highland Board of Elections Director, Debbie Craycraft. “Today when we had the official, we added in two provisional ballots which now makes it 77-77. Because of that we now have to have an automatic recount which we are going to do next Tuesday the 28th in our office.”

Craycraft says if the result of the recount ends in a tie, the levy would fail and would need to be reintroduced in a later election.

Next Tuesday’s recount will take place at 8:00 a.m. at the Highland Board of Elections. The public is welcome to attend.
