Apr. 21—Beaufort County wants to ask the county's voters to decide two major proposals this November, as well as a new transportation tax in 2022.
The two issues proposed for this year — a change in the county's form of government and a new tax — would be placed on the Nov. 2 ballot if approved by council. They come as the County Council grapples with how to handle disagreements with, and harassment allegations against, its county auditor and as local municipal leaders lobby for a new countywide sales tax.
