Citizens in several Washington County communities are reminded to vote on Tuesday, October 13. In Bartlesville, there are two issues on the ballot. An extension to the current ¼ cent economic development tax is being requested. Bartlesville Development Authority President David Wood explains what that tax does.

Bartlesville residents will also see a request for 4/10 cent increase in the city sales tax. Though extensions to the tax have continued, this is the first time since 1987 for a sales tax increase on the ballot. The extra revenue will help reestablish police, fire and parks staffing levels in Bartlesville.
