REFERENDA 

VOTE NO – Constitutional Amendment

Constitutional Amendment to provide that only a citizen of the U.S. who is 18 years of age and otherwise possessing the qualifications for voting shall be entitled to vote at any election in the State.

The Peacemaker’s response to this Amendment –

This amendment is unnecessary.  It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in elections in these states as well as at the federal level.

VOTE YES – Guilford Co. Local Sales and Use Tax

Local sales and use tax at the rate of one-quarter percent (0.25 percent) in addition to all other State and local sales and use taxes.

The Peacemaker’s response to this tax:

This sales tax is a fraction of a penny. It would raise the combined sales tax to 7 percent. The funds will benefit Guilford County Schools generating nearly $25 million in revenue every year. These funds will help provide a pay increase to Guildford County Schools’ teachers and district front-line workers such as custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers and front office secretaries.
