Tea Party Patriots to protest Santa Rosa courthouse sales tax

MILTON — Santa Rosa Tea Party Patriots will meet at the Santa Rosa County commissioners’ next workshop to protest a proposed 1 percent sales tax.  

The meeting is 6 p.m. April 11 at the Santa Rosa County Administrative Center, 6495 Caroline St., Milton. Commissioners will discuss implementing the tax for 10 years to build a courthouse in downtown Milton.

Tea Party participants will gather 5:30 p.m. on the sidewalk under the flag in front of the center. They will stand on the sidewalk until time for the workshop inside the board room.

If you would like to take part in this portion of the event, and if you are against the 10-year sales tax, make a sign that says something like, "No Ten Year Sales Tax!" a spokesperson with the event said.
