Sheridan Commission Requests Lodging, Excise Taxes on November Ballot

The Sheridan County Commission has ratified letters to County Clerk Eda Schunk Thompson, asking her to put both the County-Wide 2% Lodging Tax and the General Purpose Excise Tax, also known as the One Cent Optional Tax, on the November Ballot in the General Election.

Placing them on the ballot will allow county voters to decide whether or not to renew one or both.

If approved, the Lodging Tax and the Excise Tax will be renewed for an additional four years.

The letters to Clerk Schunk were on behalf of the commission and the governing bodies of the incorporated municipalities within the county
