Good luck to you and your allies, Mike! We will be fighting this battle soon enough in Lexington County, with the deck stacked against us as it was in Richland County.
I wonder if the people of Lexington will be stupid enough to vote the corrupt Randy Halfass back in as Lexington Mayor. He, and most of the mayors in LexCo are supportive of this tax and drooling to get their hands on it so they can squander it.
I wonder if the people of X will be stupid enough to…
Well, if you have to ask, you probably know the answer. :P
Jacking up the sales tax to decrease property tax never, ever, ever results in property taxes going back up a few years later. Ever.
Personally, I disagree with such a measure anyways because it trades a progressive tax for a regressive one, but you’d have to be a Grade A nincompoop to fall for this trick. Of course, I’m sure there’s no shortage of Grade A nincompoops out there.
Florence County has not reneged on using all of its sales tax as a credit against property taxes. That is after 18 or so years.
Sales taxes are paid by visitors too,whereas property taxes are not. There are multiple sides to the issue.
At least you get to vote. Unlike Myrtle Beach where the state and local pols were paid to ensure there would be no referendum.
Same thing happened in Clarendon county years ago.
Wonder what other counties had their legislative delegation look out for them so well…since their voters were obviously too stupid to decide for themselves?
