Sales tax popped back up for August!
Continuing the up-and-down whipsaws we have seen so far this year – Lampasas was UP 4.20% (last month was DOWN 1.18%).
The state of Texas as a whole popped UP 6.27%.
The state and Lampasas are both roughly flat on the year-to-date number compared to last year.
OTHER CITIES WE FOLLOW:
Austin: UP 5.93%
Burnet: DOWN 0.44%
Dallas: UP 2.39%
Marble Falls: UP a whopping 9.6% (good thing Ryan Ward compares our City employee salaries to theirs…makes total sense!)
