The Unified Government Commission, meeting late into the night on Thursday, delayed the half-cent sales tax increase proposal for this year, but it may come back next year. After a sometimes heated discussion on the proposed sales tax, Commissioner Christian Ramirez proposed continuing the discussion on it, with the possibility of putting it on the ballot in 2023. The original proposal was to put it on the ballot in the August 2022 primary. In a show of hands, commissioners agreed with the delay. During discussion, Commissioner Andrew Davis said he felt the commission was wasting its time. He said the commission has been very clear on its stance previously. “The commission wasn’t even considered, and we keep talking about it,” he said. “I would think that we would be considered.”
