SWEETWATER COUNTY Sweetwater County residents could see a 1 percent general purpose sales and use tax initiative on a special election ballot this November after the Sweetwater County Commission and Green River City Council both approved it Tuesday.
The reasoning for wanting to implement a 1 percent sales and use tax is to help fund public safety and economic development throughout the county, according to Ryan Rust, Green River Government Affairs and Grant Manager.
For the initiative to appear on the ballot for a special election, which would take place November 2, 50 percent of the municipalities in Sweetwater County have to approve it. While the county and Green River both approved it Tuesday, the motion died in the Rock Springs City Council meeting Tuesday.
