Little Rock sales tax proposal changed to include 10-year sunset; spending changes and promises on an early childhood program

Little Rock sales tax proposal changed to include 10-year sunset; spending changes. Little Rock sales tax proposal changed to include 10-year sunset; spending changes and promises on an early childhood program As Lindsey Millar reported earlier this week, a compromise appears in the works on a Little Rock sales tax proposal. With backing from Director Kathy Webb, who’d earlier led a move to delay a vote on calling a special election until July, the Board will take up the issue sooner, this Tuesday. Advertisement The agenda now includes an ordinance to call a special election Sept. 14 on a one-city sales tax increase effective Jan. 1 (which will mean 5/8ths of a cent increase in the current rate because of the expiration of a 3/8ths of a cent 10-year tax.) But it would expire in 10 years, on Dec. 31, 2031. Previously, it would have been permanent.
