The money is rolling in ...

The tax money, that is.  Well, not exactly rolling in ..but, sales tax collections are up 9% over the same time period last year.  That means more money is going to the school system - a system desperately in need of new investment.

If these numbers hold, it could make it easier for the County Commission to invest additional funds in the school system in the 2013-14 budget year.  With increased sales tax collections, the dollar amount needed for a property tax increase for schools could be kept fairly low -- around $50-$60 a year per family.
