Voters Approved Tax But Can't Spend It | Lincoln News

York County voters approved a $30K property tax hike for the Historical Association in May—but here’s the twist: they can’t spend a dime until getting further authorization. Stuck in bureaucratic limbo, the group can’t pay bills or plan ahead, even though cash is already in hand. Tensions are rising as county commissioners criticize the association, with one board member accusing them of draining their own funds. The election office tracks the money, and officials like Commissioner Cory Johnson express frustration over the delay. A November ballot question may be the only way forward—but legally, they can’t just ask voters to approve money already approved. It’s a messy, frustrating standoff where community support sits frozen, waiting for permission to unlock its potential.
