Hillsborough commissioners vote to draft a transportation tax ordinance

Hillsborough County has once again made a move to bolster public transportation and infrastructure. The latest decision comes after the Florida Supreme Court struck down a Hillsborough County transportation sales tax that was passed with 57% of the vote back in 2018.
