On Tuesday, March 24, 2020, I will proudly cast my vote in favor of both the E-SPLOST renewal and the school bond referendums.Many school buildings in our community are more than 60 years old and have serious infrastructure issues that can no longer be patched with Band-Aid fixes. Several electrical, plumbing and structural systems have simply outlasted their life spans. They are draining maintenance budgets and are disrupting the educational environment for many students.The E-SPLOST is not a new tax.
