Houston sales tax revenues booming for the month, year
The Houston Business Journal reports that Houston's sales tax revenues for May are up 5.8% from one year ago.
Furthermore, the city has collected $188.85 million in sales tax allocations so far this year, compared to $178.35 million for the same period last year (a 5.9% increase).
Surely those increases mean that Mayor White can ease up on schemes like the Downtown Jaywalking Revenue Stream, and get limited police manpower deployed where there are real crimes taking place.
