Mission residents will soon have the chance to decide whether more sales tax money should go towards maintaining the city’s streets. The issue before voters: The city will hold a mail-in election in September asking voters whether to approve a slight increase in the city’s sales tax from one-quarter cent to three-eighths cent. The added revenue would be dedicated to repairing and improving road infrastructure in town. The city says this increase would put an estimated $950,000 more toward annual street maintenance.
