Dickinson Drops Controversial Anti-Gang Sales Tax

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―

Sacramento County Supervisor Roger Dickinson says he has dropped the controversial initiative to raise sales tax by a quarter-cent in order to raise funds to fight gangs.

Dickinson says that next Tuesday he will ask the City of West Sacramento to put a similar initiative on their November ballot. He hopes the proposed quarter-cent sales tax increase will raise $16 million for gang fighting.
