Henry Coburn, presenter, reported that city leaders hosted a drop-in information session about the Municipal Tax Relief Act and a proposed ordinance that would add a referendum to the November ballot to allow City of Greenville voters to consider a 1% municipal sales tax.
"a referendum to the November ballot, allowing City Of Greenville voters to consider a 1% municipal sales tax," Coburn said.
