As chairman of Hall Progress 2020, I am writing to express my support for SPLOST VIII and to encourage our community to make a strong showing at the polls to vote yes. It’s very important that we continue the one-penny local sales tax, which has been in place since 1985. Early voting is now through Nov. 1, with the referendum on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
