Dan Hurley Explains the Facts Behind Issue 27

Dan Hurley presents an unbiased explanation of what Issue 27 and the resulting sales tax increase will mean to the citizens of Hamilton County. Issue 27 is a referendum to determine whether a sales tax increase enacted by the Hamilton County Commissioners will stand as law or be rejected by the voters. If approved, sales taxes would increase from 6.5% to 7.0% for eight years (2008-2015) then to 6.75% for seven years (2016-2022) to finance the Comprehensive Safety Plan (CSP). Source: Smartvoter.org
