Chadron considers 1 percent sales tax to ease finances
Chadron may add a 1 percent sales tax to goods, aiming to raise funds to avert projected fiscal troubles next year. Mayor Abel Fuller cites a 20 percent rise in city expenses and a $9,000 drop in state revenue sharing, with the 25 mill property levy near limit. If enacted, Chadron would join Omaha Lincoln Bellevue and North Platte as Nebraska cities with a sales tax. Officials estimate revenue between $239,000 and $338,000 next year.
