BELLEVILLE • A 0.25 percent sales tax for a $37 million expansion of the St. Clair County Jail was trounced in Tuesday's primary election.
With all precincts reporting in the county and East St. Louis, there were 18,166 votes against to 8,594 in favor, or nearly 68 percent opposed.
St. Clair County Sheriff Rick Watson had 9,099 votes to challenger Roy Mickens' 4,671. Watson, former Cahokia police chief, was appointed sheriff in 2012 to replace the late Mearl Justus.
Voters in the Grant School District in Fairview Heights saved their schools. A proposed 85-cent property-tax received 75 percent support with all 13 precincts reported. There were 1,638 votes for to 530 against. School officials had warned they would have to dissolve the district without the increase.
Grant has two elementary schools and about 680 students.
