WARREN

The Trumbull County commissioners will have a news conference at 10:15 a.m. today at their meeting room at the county administration building on Courthouse Square to discuss a proposed county sales-tax increase.

The commissioners had two public hearings this month, telling those in attendance that the $6 million per year that an additional quarter-percent sales tax would raise was needed because of the dwindling rainy-day fund.
