The Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners says that despite a county court's ruling earlier this month, residents are able to vote on a transportation tax that is on the ballot leading up to November 8. The county has appealed the court's ruling against the ballot language, which means that for now, voters are still allowed to vote on the tax until the appeal is addressed by the Second District Court of Appeal. The county is asking voters if they approve a 1% sales tax over the next 30 years to help fund transit and road improvements, which leaders say are much needed in the county.
