Tax hike eyed to fund local relief Venice Sarasota edits Page 4 16
Editorial notes a proposed one-cent sales tax in Florida could yield 384470 for Venice and 6.9 million for Sarasota County, with funds mainly for property tax relief. Calculations show possible ad valorem cuts of 23.8 percent for Venice and 37.3 percent for the county, depending on state revenue use. Support in Tallahassee grows but Senate action remains pending, while House leadership argues for immediate approval.
