The debate is not over about whether or not to increase the occupational tax in Dry Ridge to help generate much-needed revenue.
The city council decided to not vote during its June 17 meeting on a second reading that would have increased the payroll tax from .5 percent to 1.5 percent on anyone who works in the city limits.
Instead, the discussion will continue during the 7 p.m. July 1 meeting, after about 25 employees and business owners within the city attended the meeting in opposition of the tax increase.
