With the November election approaching, voters who want to make informed decisions need to know about the proposals and candidates they will vote for — or against.
The Local Option Sales Tax is a proposal that creates a lot of debate and discussion.
It gained approval by Escambia voters in 1992. The Sales Tax again was approved in 1997 and 2006, with the current round expiring in 2017.
In an effort to engage and inform citizens about the details of the existing Sales Tax, the county has held a series of public meetings throughout its five commission districts.
Here are the remaining meetings scheduled for the Local Option Sales Tax:
- Monday, Oct. 20, 5:30 p.m.
- Thursday, Oct. 23, 5:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, Oct. 28, 6 p.m.
