Voters approve local option, sales taxes

SHELBURNE, Vt. (WCAX) - Voters in Shelburne said yes to adding sales, meals, alcoholic beverages, and room taxes.

The tax passed by 838 to 593. Now that Shelburne has local support, they’ll need to be signed on by the Legislature before implementation, as will any other local options taxes that pass.

Voters in Stowe and Rutland approved a one-percent sales tax.

Voters in Halifax and Londonderry were deciding on a rooms tax. Those results are not in yet.
