XENIA — A pair of prominent tax levies were unofficially voted down by Greene County voters according to results released by the board of elections late Tuesday night.
Issue 12, a Greene County permissive sales tax that would have allowed officials to build a new jail and sheriff’s office; and Issue 9, a Bellbrook-Sugarcreek schools additional levy both failed. The sales tax was defeated 19,893-12,622 and the school levy was defeated 2,817-2,517.
However there are more than 9,000 outstanding ballots, including more than 1,000 in the Bellbrook school district so those results could change after the official results are released May 19.
Here are the unofficial results for the uncontested races as well as all the local issues.
