Fiscal court approves tax, but with amendment

Crittenden County Fiscal Court has unanimously approved a new occupational and net profits tax. However, the court cut the originally proposed rate in half during its regular meeting Tuesday morning.

Therefore, a new one-half of one percent payroll and net profits tax will go into effect on July 1. At least part of the receipts will go toward funding the ambulance service.

See this week's Crittenden Press for details.
