Jo Co Commission OKs Special Purpose Tax Ballot Measure
During their last regular meeting, Johnson County’s Commissioners voted to approve placing an initiative for a One-Percent Specific Purpose Sales and Use Tax on the ballot in November.
The tax, if approved by voters, would fund specific purposes with specific amounts, in three separate propositions, as described by Commission Chairman Bill Novotny.
Voters in Johnson County will have the choice of accepting all three of the propositions, approving none of them, or picking a combination of them to approve during the November General Election.
The commissioners approved Resolution No. 724 to place the initiative on the ballot in November.

Lower taxes are always better. Let’s hope the people in Johnson county will, again, vote themselves some tax relief.
With bidenomics and high inflation squeezing everyone’s budget, this is a great way to lower the cost of living. Economic history has shown that lowering the tax rate not only provides higher total tax revenue into the gov’t, it lifts the tax burden off our backs. This is the only tax that we have direct control over, thru our vote. Lowering taxes just by voting is a great idea! Don’t just complain about high taxes, do something. Vote and tell your friends to vote for lower taxes, too.
