Put it on the Ballot


Posted by Jeff Schuler - on 06 December 2008

Tim Hagan and Jimmy Dimora have raised our sales tax by another ¼% without asking us first. That's about one million dollars per week collected for twenty years. The tax collected is not earmarked in the Resolultions (readable elsewhere on this web site) for anything specific - the money goes into the county's "general fund". We want to make that decision for ourselves.

We believe that being for or against the tax is not the issue. This issue is not about supporting or not supporting the tax or about the convention center and medical mart – it's about our choice whether to raise our sales tax or not.
