Springfield voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly supported renewal of a 1/8-cent sales tax for transportation projects. About 81 percent of voters favored the tax, which will sunset after four years unless it is renewed again. It’s expected to generate about $20 million in revenue that, through cost-sharing with county, state, federal and private agencies, will fund about $60 million in local traffic projects, according to city Public Works Director Marc Thornsberry.
