Lyon County voters had a penny for their thoughts Tuesday. They decided to keep it. The 1% county sales tax won a 15-year renewal by a 67.6 % majority. Final unofficial returns showed 3,438 for it, while 1,650 were against. “Those things are pretty popular among our voters,” Tyler Curtis, treasurer of Vote Yes Lyon County, concluded Tuesday night. Curtis says since the county sales tax took effect in 2009, it’s produced more than $50 million for Lyon County. He doesn’t expect much will change now.
