Tidwell ice cream to cause another blockage

"My heart is fine I have a 26-yearold heart They're not worried about that It's getting everything else back," said Tidwell

Sales tax charts show cities like Howe need industry, retail locations

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar last week said state sales tax revenue totaled $2 86 billion in June, 3 3 percent more than in June 2018

“Moderate growth in state sales tax revenue was led by receipts from the oil- and gas-mining, construction and services sectors,” Hegar said “Tax receipts from restaurants also were up significantly, while growth in collections from retail trade was negligible ”

Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in June 2019 was up 5 1 percent compared to the same period a year ago Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 57 percent of all tax collections

In June 2019, Texas collected the following revenue from other major taxes:

• motor vehicle sales and rental taxes $426 6 million, down 1 5 percent from June 2018;

• motor fuel taxes $328 1 million, up 8 percent from June 2018;

• natural gas production taxes $124 5 million, up 5 2 percent from June 2018; and

• oil production taxes $363 4 million, up 7 5 percent from June 2018

In Howe, the monthly total was $30,553 which is the highest of any July total.

"This was a big month for our forecasting due to it involving the closure of Magni-Fab and we were concerned about the impact it would have on the city's revenue," said Howe Economic Development Director Monte Walker

The far right column above gives an idea of whether each city relies on outside population or inside population for sales tax revenue. For instance, Gainesville's total of $5,468,567 comes from a city popuation of only 16,419, therefore, accumulating $333.06 per citizen That indicates either an unusually high industrial revenue, or a healthy revenue from travelers or citizens of nearby areas

Based on these numbers, A "Shop Local" program for Gainesville is not as dire as it is for communities like Howe or Tom Bean who is the opposite with little industrial, and little revenue from travelers or nearby areas Howe's business climate relies nearly solely on it's citizens for sales tax revenue with only $73 26 per citizen With the growth of Howe by nearly 400 since 2010, the sales tax per citizen has remained virtually the same as it was $73.89 per citizen in 2010.

Therefore, a "Shop Local" program is crucial for cities like Howe, Tom Bean, Collinsville, and Leonard - City of Howe Economic Developement
