The ballot issue asked voters if the city should create a General Improvement District to keep four library branches open.

The measure would have increased property taxes about $6 a month on a $200,000 home.

According to unofficial results posted by the City of Aurora at 10:14 p.m. on election night, the measure failed with 54 percent of voters against and 46 percent for the tax hike.
