Impact won’t hit until last quarter of 2017, if at all
Nothing is certain when it comes to local revenues that run through the state coffers, county officials have learned.
There have been cuts to revenue sharing local government funding over the years while local options to levy taxes have been offset by increased material and service costs.
The latest hit — a sales tax change — will hack $643,000 from Logan County’s annual sales tax revenues once it is fully implemented next year.
“The effect of it won’t come until the fall of next year,” Commissioner Dustin Wickersham said. “It won’t have a big impact on 2017, but we may feel it in 2018.”
