(Richmond, IN)--It was a standing-room-only, marathon meeting of Wayne County Council Wednesday night to address two important issues…the future of Morrisson-Reeves Library and the proposed county wheel tax.  Regarding the wheel tax, a modified proposal would apply a tax based on the value of a vehicle.  A minimum two percent charge would result in a cost of $7.50.  Newer and more expensive vehicles would be subjected to a higher tax.  Some council members expressed concern that the county could pass the tax and then Richmond could pass its own tax.  Here’s Misty Hollis addressing Richmond Mayor Ron Oler:  "I appreciate your partnership to say right now you're not going to pursue it.  But, frankly, we don't have a way of knowing what next year is going to bring for you."  On Wednesday night, council was split on whether or not to initiate the wheel tax.  To have passed, the vote would have had to have been unanimous.  The split vote means that the proposal goes back to council once again this coming Monday night.  Another vote will take place.  And, this time, it will only take a majority vote to apply the tax.
