Political
Greenville County Tax and Spend Lobby Wins First Round
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
A voting majority of Greenville County Council has made it clear that they will vote June 3, 2014, to place a $678 million sales tax increase referendum on the ballot in November. Council voted seven to three in favor of the referendum on 2nd reading. There is no reason to believe the vote will change.
Advocates of the sales tax increase have developed their strategy over many months. They are well-organized, well-financed and have hired professionals to market the plan to voters. The promoters have earned the unenviable label “sales tax pimps” from tax increase opponents who resent the methods being used to redistribute wealth from taxpayers to special interest projects, using as an excuse a need to repair state highways rather than insisting that the state use road tax money to repair their highways.
