The proposal would turn the town of Consolacion into a city, giving it its own mayor, council and the power to raise taxes, own property and run services such as a fire station, jail, schools and a prosecutor’s office. The change only takes effect if a majority of local voters approve it in a plebiscite, and the new city cannot raise local tax rates for five years after it is created.
