The Santa Rosa County Courthouse needs to be replaced. But voters once again rejected the idea of adding a one-cent sales tax for five years to pay for the $50 million project.

Now county officials are going ot have to regroup and decide how to finance the project. Or take it back to the voters in 2016.
