LANCASTER -- Fairfield County Commissioner Mike Kiger said now is the time to make a temporary sales tax increase enacted in 2010 permanent.

"I was one of the ones who voted to make it temporary before because I wanted to see how economic conditions would roll out," he said Tuesday.

Without the increase in place, it's going to be about $3.7 million hit to the general revenue fund."
