L-P Superintendent Says Yes Vote To Sales Tax Means Lower Property Taxes

Pay more in sales tax to pay less in property taxes?  That’s the proposition in front of L-P High School voters.

A countywide one-cent sales tax increase will be on the November 6^th La Salle County ballot with money going for either school construction projects or helping districts pay off debt and bonds.  L-P Superintendent Steve Wrobleski says if the referendum passes, he wants to use a big chunk of money on debt.

Wrobleski says the sales tax increase would be about 700 thousand dollars in new revenue for L-P.  The sales tax revenues would be dished out based on enrollment.

Ottawa Elementary School District has the biggest enrollment in the county.
