Ruh roh. Third time is a charm? Bidenomics doing its thing – wrecking the economy.
Clearly a major slowdown is finally underway. The state of Texas as a whole saw sales tax up a paltry 1.48% for July.
Lampasas was down for the third month straight – this time DOWN 2.13% over last July [row 585 as always]. Receipts fell from about $263,500 down to $258,000.
[For comparison, LAST July, sales tax receipts were UP 11% YoY compared to July 2021.]
What a perfect time for a business to move into the Business Park! I’m sure LOTS of businesses are looking to expand or start up in this environment! Any day now….
Some numbers from other cities:
Burnet: UP 3.71%
Marble Falls: DOWN 2.2%
Round Rock: DOWN 7%
Austin: UP 1.82%
