Here in Shelby County there’s also a debate over money, specifically sales taxes. The County Commission voted this week to let you decide in the November elections, if you want to increase the sales tax here by a half-a-cent. But here’s the rub, if it passes, any sales tax increase approved in the suburbs to fund municipal schools can’t happen. Commissioners Steve Mulroy and Terry Roland are here.
