Loudoun was on track Tuesday to vote down a proposed meals tax for the third time since 1992, with 70 percent of voters opposing the measure after 94 percent of the county’s precincts reported. The tax was one of several notable initiatives to appear on local ballots in Maryland and Northern Virginia.

The proposal would have increased taxes on certain prepared foods by 4 percent and was projected to raise $13 million in revenue to be earmarked for the county’s public schools.
