Greene County puts new tax on April ballot

October 18, 2011 By Brian Hauswirth

Two of the three commissioners in Greene County have decided to let voters say yes or no to a one-eighth cent law-enforcement sales tax in April.  Voicing concerns all along, the presiding commissioner voted against the move, saying this may add prosecutors, jailers and juvenile workers, but won’t help jail over-crowding.  Prosecutor Dan Patterson says that’s not true. He says this will ultimately reduce jail population.

A parks tax expires the same time this would take effect, leaving the final bill unchanged for tax payers.
