HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) - The Hattiesburg City Council appears poised to support a request by Mayor Johnny DuPree to bring a 1 percent sales tax referendum before city residents for a vote.
The Hattiesburg American reports (https://hatne.ws/1dkIRIR ) councilmen are expected to vote Tuesday on a resolution that would ask the state Legislature to enact certain local and private legislation that would eventually allow a sales tax increase that would bring a conservatively estimated $10 million annually to city coffers.
DuPree said revenue from sales tax would be used to pay for the creation of and operation of a mandated wastewater treatment system.
