Harris To Go On Sales Tax Increase Offensive

Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris claims that last year his proposal to raise the county sales tax was "bowled over by special interest groups." He told me in an email that opposition was driven by "critics that demonstrated a blatant disregard for the truth." This year Harris intends to go on the offensive: tonight he will provide county board supervisors with a detailed examination of why the tax increase is necessary, and he will soon unveil a "Cut Winnebago Property Tax" website.

Mr. Harris will be a guest on Radio Commentary (WRST 90.3 FM) this coming Friday at 6:15 p.m. Web streaming is available at the WRST site.
