South Carolina: Sales tax measure postponed
A sour economy and some county government disarray mean a local option sales tax initiative in Oconee County will be put on hold. The Oconee County Council on Monday scheduled a special meeting for March 30 for a first reading of an ordinance to defer the effort, which has been continuing for over a year. The aim was for the council to possibly bring the question of imposing the 1-cent sales tax to Oconee County voters on the November general election ballot.
