Columbus to share wage tax with farmers in township
Columbus Township supervisors plan to pass an ordinance on March 1 to allow sharing half of the existing one percent wage tax with the Columbus School District. The move would raise about $4,000 in additional revenue by taxing farmers and all wage earners, which the school board has previously avoided. The ordinance sets a one percent maximum, with sharing provisions under state law, continuing budget debates between the township and school district.

Help Shortage Disastrous To Florida Crops
Millions of dollars of citrus vegetables and sugar cane rot under the Florida sun as farm leaders blame a federal labor shortage. For 20 years Florida relied on migrant workers from the West Indies and Bahamas, cut off last year when Congress restricted visa use. California’s migrant labor shift and slow domestic recruitment fail to fill the gap, making Ley growers fear huge losses despite a higher minimum wage. Domestic workers claim they can earn more elsewhere, and the plan to lure them with foreign-price parity falters.
