In 2000 voters rejected the tax.  In 2002 it was passed, but then the state supreme court threw it out.  The court said the ballot language was leading, so charleston county council has reworked the question.  The original instruction to voters was to vote yes if they were "in favor of the traffic congestion relief, safe roads, and clean water sales tax." The new wording tells voters to vote yes if they are "in favor of levying the special sales and use tax." » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press.
