The Carson City Council just voted unanimously to place a 2 percent utility tax on the March ballot.
By reversing his earlier opposition, Mayor Jim Dear broke a campaign pledge to oppose a new utility tax.
Because it won unanimous support of the council, the tax will require only majority support from the voters -- not two-thirds.
The council has not yet debated a separate proposal to impose a 2 percent tax on tickets at the Home Depot Center.
