Reorganization Effort Likely Fails in Delaware County

From the Muncie Star-Press:

Voters soundly defeated a public referendum Tuesday to reorganize city and county government. Muncie’s mayor and city council as well as the Delaware County commissioners and county council would be combined into a 15-member body. Government services would have urban and rural service areas and tax districts.

With 76 of 78 precincts reporting, “no” responses received 62 percent of the vote. The measure needed to pass with two-thirds support.
