Trigg County voters may get to decide on whether they want to support a nickel tax to increase bonding capacity for the school system to make capital project proposals in their buildings a reality.
County Clerk Carmen Finley confirms to WHOP that a petition from a group of citizens was certified Monday and the decisions are now in the school system’s hands on how to proceed.
She says they have 10 days to decide if they want to take the matter to circuit court and 15 days to decide if they want to amend or rescind their nickel tax order.
Time is running out to put the referendum on the May primary ballot, as Finley says that deadline is January 31.
If Trigg voters ultimately end up deciding, it could have to wait until the November general election.
