STA Sales Tax Passing

As of last night, the vote on the 0.3 percent sales tax for the Spokane Transit Authority is passing.

When ballot counting wrapped up last night, the measure had approval from 65 percent of the ballots. More ballots will be counted in the next few days.

The vote allows STA to maintain about the same level of service and move forward with proposals to increase frequency of routes to the Spokane International Airport and Liberty Lake.

Here's the details and numbers from the Spokesman-Review.
