The East Hall city has spent about $146,050 of $266,000 in SPLOST money collected since November 1994 when the third tax program was approved by Hall County voters. It has received $112,602 in tax revenues in the current round, SPLOST VI, which was approved by voters in March 2009, according to numbers provided by Hall County.
