Local Sales Tax Cap And How It Affects Public Transit Funding

Include one additional page for citations/references.

This is the research topic: Researching the sales tax cap and how it affects transit funding.

Possible points of interest to talk about in the essay:

  • Are citizens sending too much tax money to Transit organizations?
  • Could transit caps be raised several cents?
  • Could more entities join and raise the cap, and not have it tied to the one penny sales tax?
  • Could cities go to eight and a half percent sales tax instead of two percent?

Raising tax caps gives more flexibility with the cost of service you want for a city, even when the cities are sending too high or a tax percentage for the very little amount of actual services they are receiving.

Could you create a Road and Infrastructure fund for Transportation?
