Earlier this month, voters in Newton County voted to pass a homestead exemption from school district property taxes for senior citizens in a special county-wide election.
The vote went overwhelmingly in favor of the exemption, passing in a 7,548-990 vote, per the official election results posted on the Newton County website. Those equate to 88.4 percent ‘yes’ and 11.6 percent ‘no.’
