County to seek voters approval of sales tax for CIP funding
Finney County commissioners consider a quarter cent sales tax to raise about $800,000 yearly to cover 2010 2015 CIP projects. They discuss deferrals and eliminations to fit budget, remove Schulman Avenue project, and explore leasing versus purchasing equipment. A tax could aid road overlays on Jones Avenue Polo Line Road Maple Street VFW and possibly provide property tax relief.
