“I'd rather have to pay that then a sales tax.”
Cindy Johnson
“In some ways, the sales tax is fairer. A retired person living on a fixed salary, their property tax appreciates while they don't spend much on sales tax.”
Don Crosby
“We would like to see local taxes be more balanced and not overly rely on the sales tax. On the other hand, both statewide and presumably locally, we're not only interested in fairness, but we're also interested in adequate revenue for the state and presumably the local government, too.”
Dick Williams
“The destruction of that area has devastated both our property tax and sales tax,”
Richard Bennett
“So far this fiscal year, we have experienced sales tax increases over the same time last year of 5.30 percent in October, 9.52 percent in November, 22.73 percent in December, 15.78 percent in January, and 14.58 percent in February.”
Jim Wehmeier
“It seems the only avenues being looked at are raising the sales tax or having a property tax. I again suggest emphasis be placed on development of revenue producing growth.”
Larry Schmit
“Citizens are not happy about the sales tax. They will not be happy about their property taxes going up, but people do indeed seem to understand the state is having hard fiscal times and solutions are hard to come by.”
