Protest Set For Huntington City Council Proposal
WEST VIRGINIA....
Huntington City Council members could vote on a proposal for a 1% occupation tax in Huntington as early as Monday. The current proposal would eliminate the city's user fee, put a cap on those making $125,000 or more, meaning no one would pay more than $1250 annually and reduce the B&O Tax on some businesses, but would allow no break for those making minimum wage. Talk of the proposed tax has been a source of great controversy and protest. A protest will take place outside City Hall at 7:00 P.M. Monday, August 9th, while City Council members prepare for a meeting that starts at 7:30 P.M. inside City Hall council chambers.
