This time, they got it right with T-Tax.Whatever you think of the proposed Transportation Tax, you have to admit that whoever came up with the idea of localizing the planning and decision process really got it right.From the start, the politicians have been kept at arm’s-length. Only local folks — people like you and me — and our representatives from each county in our Georgia Mountains region were involved in developing the project list for the T-Tax.Then, provided the T-Tax passes, the doling out of the money for each project will continue to be overseen by the public in each region across the state. One-hundred percent of the tax revenue stays here at home with a 75-25 split between regional projects and local road improvements for counties and municipalities.
