It seems as though Pearl River County is having difficulties running their government on the revenues they're currently getting, so their Board of Supervisors is seriously considering a tax increase. WDAM is reporting that the Pearl River County Supervisors are set to decide June 18th whether or not they will place a non-binding referendum on the November ballot that would allow voters to call for a 1% sales tax increase.
If the voters approve this increase, the Legislature will have to pass local and private legislation to enact it. That's where it gets interesting.
