Wow what a good idea. Raise the sale tax. Them we will have the highest tax in the state. what ever happen to the idea of living with in our means? Must have died with the last administration. that's it raise the taxes then raise the water bill again then raise the room tax . Wonder if the folks in raleigh will let you put a tax on gasoline also. Then look at the money you will have to throw away. I take it the the convention center is still not able to stand by itself?
