Kanawha County School District Public Library Excess Levy Renewal

What does this measure do?

A YES vote means

Yes keeps the current extra property tax for public libraries from 2030 through 2035 at the same rate. The named libraries continue receiving this funding.

A NO vote means

No lets this extra library property tax end after its current term in 2030. Property owners stop paying it then, and the libraries lose that funding.
