Randolph sales tax hike: Follow the logic

Posted March 8th, 2010 at 8:25 AM by SamH

The N&R follows Becki Gray’s logic stating that special elections = low voter turnout = sales tax increases, ultimately concluding that voters who supported the Randolph County sales tax hike “decided it is a good time to raise taxes for the right reason.”

The so-called right reason is to help Randolph Community College upfit the recently-purchased former Klaussner Furniture building. Taxpayers are already forking out for the purchase of the building, so let them pay a little extra to renovate it.

Sounds logical, eh?
