A Republican-led committee opposing Peoria’s sales-tax hike on the ballot in November has filed a complaint alleging the misuse of tax dollars to promote the initiative to voters.
The complaint, filed last week, accuses city leaders of illegally appropriating public funds to promote the 0.4 percent city sales increase by endorsing literature distributed at city meetings and events, and sent to voters in their water bills, along with promotion on the city’s website and on the side of city sanitation vehicles.
