I have to admit, I am shocked these numbers continue to climb like this. A combination of inflation and libtards flooding our state keeps sales taxes going higher.
Lampasas trailed the state as a whole by 2.6 percentage points – an improvement over last month’s 6.2% gap.
LAST year, Lampasas saw an 18% increase [see row 585] in March 2022 compared to March 2021 – so quite a drop off from last year. The state of Texas saw a 28% increases last March compared to 2021.
Year-to-date, the City has collected $955,726 compared to $887,774 for the same period last year – an increase of 7.6% (roughly in line with inflation, I might add).
Now that Wool & Vine has gone bust, I guess we’ll see these sales tax numbers drop even more precipitously next month, right? LOL.
