No New Taxes in Sumter County, Alabama!

The citizens of Sumter County, Alabama face a tax increase in the form of a Constitutional Amendment on the ballot for November 7th.

The tax was proposed by State Senator Bobby Singleton as local legislation in April 2006.  It was then known as SB 586.

The citizens of Sumter County did not know of this tax until the Secretary of State released the ballot amendments on August 31st.

Fortunately, voters there have formed a local PAC committee to organize and fight this tax increase.

They are looking for battle-hardened grassroots tax-fighters ready to defeat this tax hike and send a message that will reverberate across the state of Alabama!
