Less than four months ago, Orange County voters defeated the commissioners’ attempt to hike the sales tax. Now the Herald-Sun reports commissioners have asked County Manager Frank Clifton to bring forth a formal resolution to put the quarter-cent tax hike on this November’s ballot.

The proud progressives on the county commission board have an unquenchable thirst for other people’s money, even as they continue to waste it with silly appropriations such as the $45,000 for a breastfeeding consultant. County Manager Frank Clifton tried to remove the appropriation from last year’s budget but he was rebuffed.
