A resolution to implement a 1-1/2 percent city sales tax in Aurora drew input from citizens both for and against the proposal in this week's ANR edition. The "Yes We Can" Committee hosted a town hall meeting to share its views Friday. Several letters to the editor on the issue are published on the editorial page, in addition to paid advertisements listing specific reasons to vote for or against. This is a must-read edition for voters heading to the polls Tuesday to cast their vote.
