What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Vandalia City Council enacted a 1% grocery tax last year to replace a state tax that was ending at the close of 2025. Mayor Doug Knebel stated that a significant portion of the revenue generated by this tax comes from outside Vandalia and Fayette County. The tax has averaged $35,894 per month.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The tax was put in place to prevent a major revenue loss for the city. The fact that revenue is generated from outside the city contributes to the city's funding.
