Nov. 4 Election

Linn Law Enforcement Levy passes

  The Linn County Law Enforcement Local Option Levy, Measure 22-212, has been approved by voters. The latest results posted by Linn County Clerk's Office showed  the measure receiving 14,872 yes votes (52.77 percent) to 13,313 no votes (47.23 percent). Turnout was 28 percent.
  The four-year levy will be a continuation of the current levy, which expires in June.
  The tax rate will increase by 10 cents to $3.08 per $1,000 of assessed value. All revenues will continue to fund sheriff's operations and maintain current service levels, including 24-hour patrol, the jail, criminal prosecution and juvenile offender supervision and detention.
  The Linn County Democrats did not take a position on the law enforcement levy, but they heard a presentation by Sheriff Michelle Duncan, who spoke in favor of it during the Oct. 2 Linn Dems meeting on Zoom.
