The Colorado Summit Daily News reports, “Summit County’s sales tax collections continued a downward spiral in April.”
In the unincorporated area of the county, that dismal drop was 18 percent. Forty-five percent of the county’s projected revenue of $4.5 million is generated in the first three months. January showed a 9 percent drop in sales tax revenue; February a 3 percent drop and March dipped only 1.6 percent from 2011 numbers.
Those losses have added up to a drop of $105,575 from the same time last year for January through March.
