Off The Record

It seems in the last few weeks, the "fine up standing operators" of the Paxton Marathon charged their customers 10% sales tax on in store purchases. We were not aware that the City of Paxton had raised its sales tax rate. Isn't it still 6.25%? What will they do with the extra revenue they collected? It seems they have changed their name. They are now the Paxton Discount Smoke Shop. Are the smokes cheap because they are doubling up on sales tax? We noticed the word "Liquor" is coved on their sign. Is that because they don't have a liquor license?
