City sales taxes could be going up across the area. Boaz Mayor Tim Walker proposed a 1 cent sales tax increase at last night's city council work session, and now it's up to the City Council to consider it. One penny in sales tax could translate to $2 million in Boaz. The extra money would go things like roads and schools.
In Albertville, a 1-cent sales tax increase could generate between $2 and $2.5 million a year. That could mean pay raises for city workers, and things like a maintenance program for city vehicles and possibly payments on a new senior center. According to the Sand Mountain Reporter, Mayor Lindsey Lyons, and council members McClendon, Amos, Broadhurst are opposed to the increase. It's presented by Councilman Chuck Ellis.
