BRADENTON -- At Tuesday's BOCC Meeting, commissioners struggled endlessly to schedule a referendum vote, on June 18, 2013, to increase Manatee County's sales tax from 6.5 percent, to 7.0 percent. In other business, members voted to add a tax abatement referendum to the June 18 special election vote. This would allow the commission to offer an additional incentive to reward companies that choose to expand or move to Manatee, in order to spark economic development and job creation.
