Unofficial results of Tuesday's election released last night indicate the Nevada R -5 Proposition No. 1 passed by a wide margin. With 1, 353 yes votes and 382 no votes,7 7.98 percent of voters chose to continue the Proposition C rollback waiver, a tax provision that has been in place for the past 10 years. In 1999, voters OK'd the waiver, which allows the school district to glean all of a 1-cent sales tax. If voters had not renewed the waiver, half of that money would be returned to the state. A small property tax tied to the Proposition C waiver also remains in place.
