Measure B defeated

B apparently is not for baseball, as advocates of the measure put before El Dorado County voters on the South Shore had lobbied.

Measure B was designed to alter the 2000-voter approved Measure S. It would have taken money designated for maintaining bike trails and put it toward renovating ball fields.

Two-thirds of the voters needed to say yes for it to pass. It garnered 62.12 percent. There were 1,925 who voted for Measure B, while 1,174 (37.88 percent) said no.

No matter how people voted, the $18 assessment was going to stay in place.
