Baldwin school officials expect lean years ahead despite tax win (with tax calculator) | al.com: "BAY MINETTE, Ala. -- Baldwin County commissioners wasted no time Wednesday calling a special work session set for Tuesday to get the new sales tax levy ready after voters overwhelmingly approved the levy.

In a 34 percent voter turnout, 59 percent of those casting ballots approved the referendum calling for a three-year, 1-percent sales tax to benefit Baldwin County Public Schools. Officials expect about $25 million in annual revenue from the tax."
