Sales tax fight over matching funds for flood relief in Cedar Rapids
The Sales Tax Oversight Committee questions council decisions while approving most. Ballot language from 2009 ties 90 percent of tax to flood housing, with later debates on using funds to match federal flood dollars for city buildings. As of now about 63 months of tax could yield $80 million for flood programs, with direct payments totaling $20.26 million to 1,897 homeowners and 698 renters.
