(Iowa City, IA) -- A sales tax on every purchase could fund firehouse improvements in North Liberty, a new rec center in Coralville, and affordable housing in Iowa City.
Those were some of the arguments that proponents of the Local Option Sales Tax made during a campaign launch yesterday.
The 1% tax will be on the November 4th ballot in the three Johnson County communities.
If passed the tax would take effect July 1st of next year with 50% of the revenue generated going to property tax relief by law.
