NORTH PLATTE – The North Platte City Council is considering modifying the city’s communication tax so that both landline and cell phone users would have to pay the tax. The current tax is 5 percent on landline use only. If enacted, the tax revenue from cell phone use could reach approximately $480,000 and reduce the property tax levy. Mayor Marc Kashke says he would veto a bill calling for communication tax applied to cell phone use.
