Bladen Commissioners Ignore Promise in Seeking Sales-Tax Hike
RALEIGH — Bladen County voters can force county commissioners to honor their recent "No Tax Increase" promise as they say "yes" or "no" to a proposed $375,000 sales-tax hike. John Locke Foundation researchers question the sales-tax proposal in a new Regional Brief. Voters will decide Nov. 2 whether county commissioners can raise the local sales tax rate 0.25 cents.
