Question 1 - Special Sales and Use Tax

I approve a special sales and use tax in the amount of one-half (1/2) of one percent to be imposed in Charleston County for not more than twenty-five (25) years, or until a total of $5,400,000,000 in resulting revenue has been collected, whichever occurs first.
