Which shall city use Taxes fire fees debated as revenue
Charleston faces a revenue decision as debate grows over raising funds for services. The city spent about 2.2 million last year, aided by a temporary 225,000 increase in gross sales taxes through March. Mayor Copfenhaver backs making the sales tax rise permanent, while others push a service charge on property protected by the fire department or higher sales taxes. A citizens committee studied options and recommended a 25 cent per $100 service charge on combustive property, but the mayor remains unconvinced. The county assessor holds the key to any rate rise.
