A weekend sales tax holiday on school supplies, clothing, and computers has just ended while a tax holiday on food sales continues through Thursday, August 5th. WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper spoke with Bill Fox, Director of the University of Tennessee’s Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research, about the pros and cons of tax holidays for consumers and for state and local economies.
