Crawford County Election Results: Marijuana Taxes Pass, Election Proposal Fails, Simmerly Wins

Voters in Crawford County and the city of Bourbon gave approval to marijuana taxes on Tuesday.

Recreational marijuana would be subject to 3 percent sales taxes at both the county and city level.

County voters approved it with 67 percent of the vote.

In the city of Bourbon, 71 percent of voters approved the tax.

However, Bourbon voters rejected a proposal that would forego elections if the number of candidates filing is equal to the number of open seats.

That proposal failed by a vote of 58-55.

The Bourbon Fire Protection District race between Miranda Falloon and Dan Simmerly saw Simmerly win, collecting 61 percent of the vote in Crawford County.

Falloon won nine of the 11 votes in Franklin County and Simmerly won the only  vote cast in Washington County.

Crawford County voters also approved the city of Sullivan's parks and recreation tax, backed the Sullivan School District's $22 million bond issue and approved redistricting 366 acres of property into the Spring Bluff R-15 District.

A majority of the county voters residing within the Strain-Japan R-16 District went against the proposal to raise the operating levy.
