Richland County sales tax revenue continues to decline, according to RichlandSource.com from record high inflation and fuel prices.
Commissioner Tony Vero said this week, if you want to see a direct reflection of the economy, Richland County is indicative of the market. Vero said, March of this year was 14% better than March of 2021, but in just 3 months, the county has dropped to 6% less, which is a 20% fall in just 3 months.
