Some area cities resist new local option sales tax agreement
Placeholder Image
With the possibility of losing local option sales tax revenue, Hall County and Gainesville have rushed this week to approve a new proposal for distribution of LOST revenues between the county government and its municipalities. But some Hall cities have decided not to sign off on the new agreement, which has the same distribution formula as that adopted in 2002. The local option sales tax is a 1 percent tax that must initially be approved by voters.
