"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
NC Senate Gives Initial Approval to Sales-tax Cap
Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2014-07-29 00:00
“Urban legislators argued the cap punishes large counties that want to schedule referenda on public transit or, as in Mecklenburg’s case, education. Mecklenburg’s local sales tax rate is already at 2.5 percent. The county had scheduled a November vote on a quarter-cent increase.” The NC Senate isn't great, but it least they seemed to be concerned about the beleagured taxpayers, who are the ones urban leglislators don't seem to mind punishing.
