Dear editor,
The State of Georgia, through our General Assembly and governor, is asking the voters of all Georgia counties to vote on a transportation 1% sales tax called a TSPLOST tax in July 2012.
This 1% sales tax is in addition to other 1% sales taxes counties already have in place. This would be called the TSPLOST TAX (Transportation Special Projects Local Option Sales Tax).
Most counties have a 1% ELOST TAX, a 1% SPLOST TAX, and a 1% LOST TAX.
The ELOST TAX (Education Local Option Sales Tax) is a special tax for local school systems to improve infrastructure within their county.
The SPLOST TAX (Special Projects Local Option Sales Tax) is a special tax for local county government to improve infrastructure within their county.
The LOST TAX (Local Option Sales Tax) is a special tax to alleviate property taxes within the county, i.e. allows a reduction in the millage rate.
