Du Quoin Warns on Spending as Sales Tax Dips
Du Quoin officials say the city remains sound but will watch spending after first quarter 2003 sales tax revenues fell 4.9 percent from a year earlier. Treasurer Jacqueline Williams cites $354,995 in investments while noting lower interest income due to rates near 1.222 percent. City urged residents to buy locally to keep sales tax revenue in town.
