I mentioned last night a survey underway by source unknown about voters’ feelings about a Little Rock sales tax increase. This morning, I got an account from Kathy Wells of an appearance City Manager Bruce Moore made Sept. 11 before the Coalition of Little Rock Neighborhoods. Moore made a reference to a potential half-cent sales tax increase as a cure to city money problems. He said he favored a general tax increase over a dedicated tax for parks, another idea that has been floated. I agree on that. He signaled personal reservations about a hamburger tax increase, a means to get money to the city by using it to finance parks. That would free money for other purposes.
The report follows.
