The Mobile City Council are still considering a 1 percent sales tax increase, though it was voted down last time with a 3-3 vote, with one member abstaining.
The original proposal indicated a 1 percent increase through September 30, 2012, which is the end of the 2012 fiscal year; after this it would go down to one half of the 1 percent for 2013. The new proposal, however, has the 1 percent increase gone entirely after September 30th of 2011, when Mobile City Council members would take another vote for a possible renewal of the tax increase. This compromise may be just the thing to pass the proposal with the necessary 5 votes from the seven council members.
