What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Flagler County Commission considered a proposal to increase the sales tax, an item that surprised several commissioners, including Andy Dance and Leann Pennington,. The acting county administrator, Adam Mengel, initially placed the sales tax increase on the agenda, but later notified Pennington that the item would be removed and would likely appear at a future workshop. The proposal was linked to the possibility of an additional surtax, which Pennington had revived.
