Clarke County boards seek repeal of special road tax law
Clarke county supervisors in Berryville vote unanimously to urge Senator Parks and Speaker Byrd to appeal the Clarke county special road law. They argue the 15 cent tax per $100 yields only 4100 a year for 200 miles of dirt roads and insufficient funds for repairs. They favor repealing the law to allow a higher levy and access to the general road law.
