Clark County Council to discuss public safety sales tax at June 23 meeting

The Clark County Council recently approved placing a Public Safety Sales Tax on the August primary ballot. If approved by the voters, sales tax in Clark County would increase by one-tenth of 1%, or one penny for every $10 spent. 

The tax would be used to fund law and justice expenses, including, but not limited to, body worn and dash camera programs, staffing for the Sheriff’s Office needed for jail bed expansion and other expenses.
