Question 1 - Local Sales Tax Increase for Sheriff's Office and Jail

To pay for public facilities purposes, shall Warren County be authorized to impose an increase on its share of local sales taxes by 3⁄4% for a period not to exceed 25 years. This would mean that a consumer would pay an additional 75 cents for every $100 of tangible personal property bought at retail. If imposed, the additional tax would cease being collected at the end of 25 years if not terminated earlier by payment in full of the debt to construct the public facility or by vote of the County Board. This local sales tax would pay for the construction, furnishing and equipping of a sheriff's office and jail for Warren County. This local sales tax would not be imposed on the sale of equipment used for farming, motor vehicles, sales of food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
