Business leaders aren’t in support of the proposed sales tax increase in Hancock County. Hancock County Alliance CEO John Haywood said that they don’t approve the duration and the extra quarter percent.
He said that the business community would support the legislation if the commissioners provide evidence of why it is needed.
Haywood claims that the evidence given so far has been anecdotal. He added that there are members of the community that would help the commissioners look through their books.
