If you have never read a legal notice before, or if you haven’t read one in a while, this week is a great time to do so. McClain County is required by the State of Oklahoma to notify the public about any election the county commissioners have proposed for local residents. This requirement has resulted in a fullpage publication in the Newcastle Pacer which outlines a special election September 9 to make the county’s half-cent sales tax permanent.
These legal notices are in today’s issue on page 7. Please read them and let your friends know they are there.
The proposed half-cent tax is the same one that has been in place the last 19 years, according to County Commissioner Wilson Lyles, chairman. He said this tax pays for things the county has always had difficulty paying for.
