FREMONT

Taking an apparent cue from their counterparts in Ottawa County, commissioners in Sandusky County are gearing up to raise the sales tax rate.

Sandusky County commissioners have announced plans to pursue an emergency increase in the sales tax, bumping it by 0.25 percent. 
 
The jump would put the county’s sales tax at 7 percent, or dead even with Huron County’s rate.
 
This past week, shoppers in Ottawa County saw the sales tax jump 0.25 percent, after commissioners there decided to raise the rate from 6.5 percent to 6.75 percent.
 
Sandusky County commissioners, meanwhile, are calling their proposed increase “temporary,” though the rate would be locked in for three years.
 
Commissioners will host two public hearings on the issue — one at 2 p.m. July 12, the other at 6 p.m. July 16. 
 
Both meetings will be in the county commissioners’ room, 622 Croghan St. in Fremont. 
       
Sandusky County administrator Warren Brown said the county has assembled a presentation so county planners can “share the facts and figures that have led up to this decision.” 
 
While commissioners have already cut budgets and services, there’s still a financial shortfall the county has to take care of to continue providing basic county services, Brown said. 
 
Commissioners would have to approve the sales-tax increase by the end of August in order to start collecting by Jan. 1, 2011.
 
Ottawa County commissioners used a similar line of reasoning — a shortage of funds — to justify an jump in the sales-tax rate in that county. 
 
Sales taxes in Erie County are 6.5 percent.

How about cutting expenses.

If the commissioners cut employees, who would vote for them? No, they're going to preserve their position and their entitlement on the backs of the real working people.

 There are only two options. Increase income( taxes) or cut expenses. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. How about cutting expenses. That means a reduction in employees and services. It is pretty simple.

Now here is a great liberal idea.  I understand the liberal county government can NOT wait to get their hands on ALL those TAX pennies.  Yeah, that will solve EVERYTHING right crybabies?  No?  What do you mean the PEOPLE will shop OUTSIDE of Ottawa County as much as possible?  What do you mean it is not enough money so they will raise the sales tax AGAIN?  Just put it on the ballot like all the school levy initiatives.  Yeah, that will work.  Ha! Ha!  Here is a predictable liberal solution, raise the sales tax to 10% state wide so people in one county will not cross over to another county to make their purchases.  You loser liberals are so predictable on that re-distribution of wealth.  Ha! Ha!  Thank you "Joe the Plumber."  Oh, by the way, he is a member of the plumbers UNION.  Ha! Ha!
