> Baxter County claims that the FCC decision means that phone services are no longer "feasible." In 2018, however, when Baxter County wanted to expand its jail and didn't have the cash, officials found a way to make it feasible by asking voters to approve a 1-cent sales tax collected between April and September of that year. (You can even watch a time-lapse video of the jail expansion being built.) Feasibility, it turns out, is often in the eye of the beholder.<p>What's the implication here? That they could tax residents and subsidize the calls at the previous rate?<p>Also, a 1-cent tax is a 1% tax. That particular political slang always bothers me. 1% is a lot on what you spend all year.
