I'd support even 2% extra, but it wouldn't really be needed if 1% brings in $350 million a year.
Sales tax is a much better way for the city to bring in funding than property tax.

Me too, I think a penny a tax is a great idea. These types of facilities have to be funded somehow, and and extra penny here and there will go a long way in the thousands of transactions happening in this city on a regular basis.
I really don't see how anyone can be against this. This is an innovative idea to fund badly needed upgrades to infrastructure.
