“We believe that there is still ample reason for optimism that 2005 will continue to track with 2004,” said Steve McFarland, Town finance officer. “One of our challenges with sales tax revenues is that the information is not available until 45 days after the fact. We are trying to identify leading indicators so that we can react more quickly to the economic opportunities and challenges presented by the sales tax income stream.”
While sales tax dollars keep declining.
Remember that under Home Rule we could collect our own sales tax dollars?
Of course the Town, meaning Baudek and his hired hand Repola, said that wasn't a factor. We do just fine the way it is.
McFarland is taking a big risk making these statements. Going against the gospel is a no no in Town and at the EFree. Tsk, Tsk.
