Some 90 people attended Thursday night’s Georgia Mountains Regional Commission Council meeting, which focused on the July 31 transportation sales tax vote. The event, which took place at the Community House in Cornelia, featured a presentation by Georgia Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Todd Long and Russell McMurry, the DOT’s engineering division director. “Questions from the local officials were about the length of tax,” said Teri Pope, spokeswoman at the Gainesville-based District 1.
