What happened
Lincoln voters will decide in November whether to approve Measure F, a proposal that would add one cent to the sales tax on qualifying purchases within the city. City officials say the measure is intended to provide additional funding for police, fire, and other essential services. If approved, Measure F is expected to generate about $6 million annually for the city.
