Stuttgart City Council heard a proposal last night from local businessman David Leech for a study on a one-cent sales tax to help fund repairs of city streets.
Street woes dominated much of Tuesday night’s Stuttgart City Council meeting, held at city hall with all aldermen present.
The conversation sparked when local businessman David Leech addressed the council and suggested a plan to improve city streets, which he said need a major overhaul.
“We’re gonna have to do something,” Leech said. “We’re gonna have to look at the streets. If we wait for Little Rock or Washington, D.C. (to provide funding) we’d be back to dirt roads before we know it.”
