Last week, anti-tax groups were saddened to learn that the Land Transfer Tax in Avery County had passed by 25 votes.  Upon recounting however, it appears that the vote was reversed which would mean that North Carolians, when given the chance will have rejected Land Transfer Taxes in EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE!  If upheld, congrats to the grass roots of Avery County for rejecting an unnecessary tax promoted openly within the Avery County School system.   Measure appears to have failed by 32 votes, official news release forthcoming.
