Green River Mayor Hank Castillon said he disagreed with the Sweetwater County Commission changing the process to review and select possible 6th-cent tax projects. On Tuesday, the county commissioners decided not to use the method developed in 2010 under the direction of the previous commission. A 14-member committee established steps so people could propose projects to go before the voters. County Commission Chairman Wally Johnson said the previous commission could not bind the current commission. Other commissioners agreed. Castillon said the previous resolution fulfilled an important need. Before a procedure was established, he said the process was unorganized. Under state law, passing a 6th-cent tax still requires a petition for a tax ballot measure from 5 percent of the electors of the county or a resolution approving the proposition from the county commission and the governing bodies of at least two-thirds of the incorporated municipalities within the county.
