LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE MORE TIME
The talk is ramping up about whether outgoing City-County Council Democrats will try to tinker with the 65-percent increase in the County Option Income Tax. In some recent media interviews, Council Vice-President Joanne Sanders has said Republicans oppose the tax so the Council should look at either ending it or including a sunset provision.
Some of my Democratic friends must still be upset about their Election loss because they are forgetting that the law only allows for the tax to be voted on once per calender year, so they could not repeal it this year. Also, after speaking to officials in the Statehouse, they could not vote to sunset the provision this year either. The new Council could vote on the measure but they would have to do between March 31 and August 2.
How complicated is this to figure out?
