Nearly $10K raised in effort
‘We Are Dixon’ group waits for word on possible April referendum
DIXON – The “We Are Dixon” group spent just short of $8,000 in a failed effort to pass a 1-cent sales tax initiative in Lee County.
The group tallied $9,501 in pledges with $8,051 collected and $7,927 spent, said John Thompson of the Dixon Area Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the “We Are Dixon” committee. Thompson said pledges ended up near the group’s goal of $10,000.
The largest donations were $500; the group took in 58 different donations for an average of $164 per donation.
