Impact analysis
The sales tax would add a quarter cent on applicable purchases (25 cents per $100) but could spare property owners a roughly two-and-a-half-cent property tax increase.
Voters get to decide directly whether commissioners will be elected by district only.
Opponents argue it would limit each voter to choosing only one commissioner.

Commissioners warned state constitutional amendments, especially property tax levy limits, could squeeze county budgets.
