Voting for 1/4 Cent Sales Tax

Friends and Supporters,

We are in the final week of early voting and have been overwhelmed with your support. Thank you for sharing the importance of the ¼ Cent Sales Tax and how it can help Moore County Schools build a bright future!

HELP NEEDED: In this final week of early voting and with 1 week until Election Day – please continue to share information with your friends and neighbors about the ¼ Cent Sales and Use Tax ballot question.

Recently, a parent volunteer proposed the hashtag “#EndYourVoteOnAPositiveNote” to indicate that it was worth getting to the very last question and voting FOR the ¼ Cent Sales Tax to support school capital needs.  We think this is a helpful way to further educate voters that the last item supports the schools – especially since the ballot is long and the language is not that clear. 

Below are some additional key messages to share:

Wording on Ballot: Local sales and use tax at the rate of one-quarter percent (.25%) in addition to all other State and local sales and use tax. [  ] FOR   [  ] AGAINST

Why? This tax will ALL go towards Moore County Schools capital construction needs.

NOT Taxed: Unprepared foods (groceries), gas, prescription medications

Example: 0.25% = 1/4 cent

                 = 25 cents on $100 purchase (TV, bicycle) 

                 = 1 penny on a $4 purchase (magazine, kids meal)

 #EndYourVoteOnAPositiveNote: This is the very last question on the BACK of the ballot.
