O Drawer 901 Grenada. MS 38901-0901 Re: Bond Issue Election Dear Mr. Gore: Attorney General Mike Moore has received your opinion request and has assigned it to me for research and reply. In your letter, a copy of which is attached for reference, you seek information on an election for a bond issuance, apparently pursuant to § 19-9-1 et seq., which will benefit only one supervisor's district. You specifically inquire, According to the statute as written, who must vote in the election held when more than 20 percent of the electors within the supervisor's district file a petition opposing the issuance of a bond affecting only their district? In response, §19-9-3, Mississippi Code of 1972, Annotated, provides with regard to beat counties: The board of supervisors of any county is authorized to issue negotiable bonds of any road district or supervisors district... The section goes on to say that, All bonds issued pursuant to this section shall be issued in like manner and be subject to the same limitations and provisions as are set forth in Sections 19-9-1 to 19-9-31 with reference to the issuance of county bonds. (Emphasis supplied). 450 HIGH STREET - POST OFFICE BOX 220 - JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI 39205-0220 TELEPHONE (601) 359-3680 - FACSIMILE (601) 359-3796 Digitized from Best Copy Available
