City Council will soon decide whether to put sales tax increase on the ballot
The Grand Junction City Council will decide Aug. 19 whether to go before voters again in November and ask for a sales-tax increase to pay for a pared-down package of new police and fire buildings. If council members choose to ask city residents to bump up the sales-tax rate a quarter-cent, they also will decide which one of five projects ranging in price from $53 million to $78 million they will tie to the question.
