After voters rejected a .2% proposal, NC legislators are attempting to pass a .6% commission on every home sale in this state. This will devastate the average homeowner, the retiring homeowner, families forced to relocate, and many others.
When asked about this attempt to override the voter’s desires, Candidate for NC State House Paul Purdue commented, “This should come as no surprise to those of us following the daily antics of our elected representatives. Usually a person would get the message when the voter’s reject a transfer tax in so many counties, yet, here we are again facing another vote on an even higher tax. 75% to 92% opposition across the board is very clear. The public rejects this tax. It must go. I just don’t know what they are thinking in Raleigh but it is obviously time for a change.”
