Sales tax increase passed

The sales tax increase, voted on August 7, was passed 606 to 215. This one cent increase, to be in effect for 20 years, will go to pay for a new jail located in Corydon.

Although I'm not a big fan of increased taxes, we do need a new jail. It's either this or we spend $$$ on transporting prisoners to other facilities. Do we want deputies patrolling the roads and streets or driving ner' do wells to Osceola and other locations?
