Taxes Bentonville says no to high school tax
Posted by Max Brantley on Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 6:14 AM

Good luck with taxes in Benton County, where recent legislative races proved the toxicity of supporting even the modest idea of asking taxpayers to vote on a tax increase for important public services.
