But instead, they are seriously considering a sales tax on GROCERIES 🤦
You're viewing a single thread.
Nowhere in that does it mention parking or gas taxes. Where did you pull that from?
From the article:
On Wednesday night, DeKalb County Board members began considering a county-wide 1% grocery tax.
It appears they changed the article contents? I looked and couldn't find anything about making a parking fee or gas tax. Only that the state is removing a 1% grocery tax and is giving each county the option of keeping or removing the tax.
Maybe there's another article or meeting minutes?
