School board forum last night on sales tax, and the two most recent pasrt chairs of the Johnson COunty Dems take opposing positions:
The right thing for Johnson County now is this sales tax, and this sales tax is for kids," said Sarah Swisher, who has a daughter at South East Junior High.
Hm. So this this mean SEIU's significant clout is going to get behind this?
But others were unconvinced. Rod Sullivan, a Johnson County supervisor who said that he was speaking as a father of three rather than as a county official, said that with the number of children from low-income families, "I'm of the opinion the sales tax puts kids last, not first.
Also in the Gazette:
Dow Voss of Iowa City said he'd like to see the district look at other sources for additional revenue, such as expanding the amount the district collects from an income tax surcharge.
DIng! We have a winner. I'm with Rod and Dow on this one.
