Hey there, Richland County! Thanks so much for trusting us with your election coverage. I'll be chiming in with updates on the Lexington and Madison school levies. Both districts have a property tax renewal on the ballot, meaning that taxes won't go up if the levies pass.

Lexington also has a 0.75 percent earned income tax on the ballot. This new tax would generate about $3.54 million in its first year of collection, according to estimates from Treasurer Jason Whitesel.
