Occupational License Tax Ordinance:

To read the payroll tax ordinance enacted Monday, October 6, 2014, by the Columbia City Council on a 5-1 vote, at the recommendation of Mayor Mark D. Harris, and the Revenue Committee (Councillors June Parson, Craig Dean, and Robert Flowers) see: Occupational License Tax Ordinance PDF This regular monthly meeting. Though posted as a working copy, only minor typographical changes were made.

Whether you are for the tax or not, the document makes interesting reading. Those opposed to the tax have asked that it be re-emphasized before the election so that everyone knows what they are facing. Only one Mayoral Candidate, write in candidate Ben Arnold, has called for the repeal of the ordinance on day one. One council member, Linda Waggener, voted against the ordinance on October 6, 2014. The other five council members voted for it. We have not yet heard the stance of Council candidates Kenneth Dulin or Craig Lasley, or whether any of the original supporters of the tax would wish to take a new look at it. Comments welcome. - EW
