The sales tax report presented to the Clinton City Council Monday night was the second report since the closure of Walmart in Clinton, and one city official indicates it was not as bad as the first.

City Administrator Tim Followell says the first sales tax report in the aftermath of Walmart closing was a significant drop in sales tax revenue, but Monday night, Commissioner Tom Edmunds reported a drop not nearly as substantial.

Followell indicates things slow down during the holidays for the City Council, so the most noteworthy discussion was the sales tax figures.
