Tax Holiday

Shoppers will be able to enjoy a weekend of tax free shopping this month.

Governor Mitt Romney signed a bill that makes August 12th and 13th a tax holiday. All items purchased under $2500.00 will be exempt from the state's five percent sales tax.

Retailers say the tax break will offer a big sales boost at a traditionally slow time of year.
