When Governor JB Pritzker locked down the state in March and along with it all non-essential businesses, local government leaders braced for a big downturn in sales tax revenue. But in a written report submitted to the county board on Monday, Wabash County treasurer Beverly McBride said sales tax revenue so far this year has actually increased over 2019. Through the first six months of last year, the quarter-cent sales tax was running behind what Wabash County has already received through June 15th. Sales tax is also trending higher this year as McBride said so far this year, the county has received $69,000 compared to just over $56,000 last year. Even though McBride said information she receives indicates revenues will be trending down, things appear to be holding their own…a trend she hopes continues.
