Allegany County Legislature approves sales tax extension

The Allegany County sales tax will remain at 8.5%. County legislators on Monday voted to ask state lawmakers to continue the additional 1.5% county sales tax for three more years. Gary Barnes of Wellsville was the only legislator to vote against the proposal. Many have said failure to have continued the extension would have likely resulted in a property tax increase.
