VOTERS IN MUSCLE SHOALS WENT TO THE POLLS ON TUESDAY TO VOTE IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.  ACCORDING TO THE TIMES DAILY, A 5-MILL PROPERTY TAX THAT WOULD HAVE FUNDED SCHOOL DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS WAS VOTED DOWN WITH 81 PERCENT AGAINST AND 19 PERCENT FOR.  THE TAX WOULD HAVE FUNDED A $20 MILLION BOND ISSUE TO BUILD A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, A MAINTENANCE/TRANSPORTATION BUILDING AND A NEW BAND ROOM AT MUSCLE SHOALS HIGH SCHOOL.  SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN LINDSEY ADVISED HE WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESULTS BUT ADDED THAT THEY HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL SYSTEM AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A GREAT SYSTEM.
