Changes

A '''referendum''' will be held on Tuesday, [[June 26]], [[2007]] to determine whether or not the [[sales tax]] in [[Escambia County]] will be increased by one half-cent ($0.005) for a period of ten years, increasing the sales tax rate to 8.0% from the current tax rate of 7.5%. If passed, the resulting proceeds from the increased additional tax would generate an expected $15 million to $17 million yearly to be used to fund primary and preventive healthcare for Escambia County residents who lack health insurance and meet certain other criteria.
