Your Views: Voters have spoken; leaders now must alter road sales tax
Placeholder Image
The voters have spoken and the T-SPLOST was defeated by a vote count of 63 percent against on a statewide level.I had written many letters to the editors of newspapers before the T-SPLOST vote was held. I am now asking all voters to consider, and ask the governor to implement, a moratorium on the three regions in the state that passed this tax from collecting any T-SPLOST money until the legislature meets next year. I am also asking all voters to contact the governor, their elected state representatives and state senators and ask them to make it a priority next year to revisit the T-SPLOST law, to nullify it and come up with another way to get transportation funds, if needed.
