PC misses the story, Gazette runs with it. Interesting note: "A local-option sales tax for schools is collected in every Iowa county except Linn and Johnson."
Regressive taxation was crushed in 1999, with the Democratic Party and labor playing key roles. And I wouldn't be surprised if things break out along those lines again:
Johnson County Supervisor Rod Sullivan, speaking on his own behalf, opposed consideration of a sales tax, saying it would have a disproportionately negative effect on the county’s poorest residents.
First step is to persuade four school board members to vote no.
