Unit 7 district gives support to new county sales tax
TOLONO – The Unit 7 school district is the latest to throw its support behind a proposed countywide sales tax.
The school board Wednesday unanimously approved a resolution asking the Champaign County Board to place a referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot asking voters to allow a 1 percent tax to be placed on most goods sold in the county. A law the Illinois General Assembly enacted in October 2007 allows an additional sales tax of up to 1 percent to be placed on merchandise except drugs, medical supplies, vehicles, boats, trailers, mobile homes and food not intended for immediate consumption.
