On July 31, residents will vote region by region across Georgia on whether to approve a 1 percent transportation tax to pay for road construction and maintenance. That means one pro-tax region may get the future benefits while another region gets nothing, all depending on how each one of us votes. You can cite many reasons for approving this penny tax — easing traffic congestion, improving accessibility and enhancing safety, to name a few.
