Jackson sales tax income down 12.6%
Sales tax revenues to the Jackson County government in 2009 declined 12.6 percent.
Jackson County generated $5 million in sales tax dollars last year. But that was a $725,000 decline from 2008 and a $1.3 million drop from the peak of $6.3 million in 2007.
Local governments have been tracking the decline in sales taxes since it is a key source of revenue.
The county had budgeted $5.3 million in sales tax revenues for the year.

Watch out citizens of Jackson, Banks County morons, ah oops, Commissioners found the sales tax was not as expected therefore raised taxes. They could not find enough toilet paper (Barefoot) to count, nor did they find any county vehicles to leave in the county parking lots. I see the headlines now, "Jackson County Commissioners raise proverty taxes, not enough toilet paper to count!"
