While comments on The Times website and Facebook page often reveal opposition to a new round of special purpose local option sales tax, or SPLOST VII, residents at the last of three meetings Thursday in Gainesville to gather public input on what projects to fund said they supported the tax. Cornelia Martin, a Gainesville resident, said she hoped officials would support renovations of the Senior Life Center. In addition, “I’d like to see more parks in the county for young people,” she said.
