Idbe,

Vigo County has had a EDIT tax in place for about 4 or 5 years. The tax money is supposed to go for "Economic Development".

Where the money actually goes is beyond me, because there hasn't been a significant new employer come to Terre Haute or Vigo county since the tax was put into place.

And by the way, when the tax was put into place, the county commissioners made sure they went for the maximum 1.5 percent allowed by state law. The state itself taxes at 3.5, so we now pay 5.0 percent for state and local.

That doesn't include the sales tax increase to 7 percent so that my property taxes could be lowered. NOT!. They went down one year, and now are back up where they were already.
