Ferguson Voters Reject One Of The Two Tax Hikes, Raising Concerns Over Cost Of Settlement With US Justice Department

Voters in Ferguson, Missouri, approved Tuesday one tax hike that could boost the city's finances, but rejected the other, raising uncertainty over whether the changes that were to be made after a settlement was reached with the U.S. Department of Justice could be completed. The deal with the DOJ was signed in March after months of protests over the use of excessive force by police officials in the aftermath of the death of black teen Michael Brown.
