No State Sales Tax on Mega Projects
http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/story/273552.html
It looks like the state is going to pass a bill suspending collection of the state sales tax on mega projects, or projects that collect tolls. This would affect the following:
- Narrows Bridge
- 520 bridge replacement
- Columbia River bridge replacement
- North Spokane Corridor
The idea seems very good. While we have to pay sales tax on most things here it always seemed weird to pay tax for state projects. And since local taxes are still collected it shouldn’t break things.
It will be interesting to see if this is implemented.
