New sales tax numbers are out. Lampasas UP 12% compared to last August. Yipeee!
But for the entire state of Texas, sales tax number UP 13%. We still trail the state. But hey, it’s getting closer! Only off by one percentage point this time!
For the fiscal year, Texas saw sales tax receipts soar 19.3% while Lampasas is only up 9.47% year-to-date….roughly in line with inflation. There is no LEDC-led miracle growth here – just inflation.
Feb and March numbers compare state raw (unadjusted) to Lampasas raw numbers now.
