Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange has pointed out for years that the city's dependence on sales tax revenue for operating funds has to change. Montgomery has the highest sales tax in Alabama...10%.
He wants to see a property tax increase and a sales tax decrease, though he admits it won't be him actually proposing it, because nobody will support the property tax increase.
Now the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama is out with a report showing how the revenue split works (or doesn't) for various municipalities.

I see in this morning's paper that Hizzonor is mandating a furlough for city employees. It's even in the city budget!
ReplyDeleteElsewhere on the Internet there's a report that American workers often do not take their full vacation time available.
Something's out of whack here.
