Provoans to vote on 2 measures June 27

Provoans will vote June 27 on two measures proposed by the Provo School District Board of Education. The first asks for permission to issue $35 million in bonds, and with that, a tax increase until the bonds are repaid. The second measure would authorize a permanent increase in the voter leeway of .00044 percent to generate $1.5 million.

If approved, the bond and leeway increases on a $100,000 house would be $65 over a three-year period.
