I just got home from the Madison County Commission meeting.  The sales tax increase failed to pass - Brooks, Dyer, Strong, and Craig voted against it, while Harrison and Jones voted for it.  Ultimately it was decided on a 5-1 vote (with Harrison as the lone dissenter) to put the measure before the citizens of Madison County in a binding vote during the Feb 5, 2008 primary election.

It was a lively meeting and I’ll write more later…

• No sales tax increase in Madison County - for now
• Madison County tax increase looks likely
• Fight the Madison County tax increase
• After sales tax defeat schools already scheming
• MadCo Commission District 6 race gets thinner
