An Argument for School Facility Sales Tax
What do the counties of Shelby, Douglas, Macon, Christian and Champaign all have in common? Each of them is collecting large funds as a result of having the county school facility sales tax in effect for each one of their schools and most of them border Moultrie County. That means each time we shop in any of these counties we are contributing to the funding for their school buildings. I encourage all of us to drive by and check out the new schools and/or new additions in Macon, Maroa, Decatur, Arthur, Champaign and other districts because you have invested in each of them.
