Big Push For 1-Cent Sales Tax Hike - Bay Minette Alabama

Big Push For 1-Cent Sales Tax Hike - Bay Minette Alabama: "BAY MINETTE, Alabama - Two weeks before the vote on an emergency 1-cent sales tax hike, the Baldwin County School System is making a big push to make sure voters get to the polls.

The school district has lost more than $61 million over the last two years in state and local funding. School officials say the sales tax hike would generate $25 million a year. Without it, they say more teacher layoffs and cuts are likely."
