Measure S, the proposal that would increase the city’s utility user’s tax, passed by a narrow margin when votes in La Verne's municipal election were tabulated Tuesday night.
La Verne residents will vote in the City Council election March 8, when challengers Roger Hanawalt, Patrick Gatti and Don Kendrick and incumbent Dan Harden will fight to fill two council seats.
La Verne residents were given the opportunity to hear from candidates running in the March 8 City Council election at a forum last week in the La Verne Community Center.
With the La Verne city elections just two weeks away, the community faces some difficult decisions, from voting on how to spend their tax dollars to choosing city council members.
