This Spring’s closing of Shopko in Mt. Carmel hasn’t had an adverse impact on local sales tax receipts. That word Monday night from Mt. Carmel Finance Commissioner Eric Ikemire who reported that sales tax receipts for the first two months of the city’s fiscal year in May and June were up significantly over the last couple of years hitting their highest mark since 2015…

Ikemire also said income tax income for four months is up $7,200 over last year.
