27 counties set transfer/sales tax referenda

I got an email* from Keith Long and Don Wright at the State Board of Elections listing the 28 27 counties that are scheduled to hold land transfer or sales tax referenda on November 6, 2007. Additionally, Mecklenburg County is voting on a sales tax for public transit. Two maps and a list are below. *corrected by Todd McGee with the NC Association of County Commissioners.

UPDATE: Polk County has delayed its transfer tax referendum until November, 2008
