WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla City Council has voted to put a ballot measure before the voters on Nov. 2 on whether the Transportation Benefit District 0.2 percent sales tax should be renewed for an additional 10 years.

The statements will be included in the local voters pamphlet for the Nov. 2 election. The names of the committee members will appear in the voters’ pamphlet as authors of these statements.
