In January, DCTC director, James Bell, met with the Douglas County Legislative Delegation to push for a bill (HB 296) to restrict Special Local Option Sales Tax and Bond issue to general election ballots only. Bell was advised by Rep. Bill Hembree that a similar bill was introduced last year by Rep. Jeff May.

The Douglas County Taxpayers Coallition is seeking support from members of the General Assembly to make changes to the GA law regarding Special Purpose Local Option Sales Taxes, or SPLOST.
The Proposed Changes are:
Limiting SPLOST Ballot Referendums only to the November General Election ballot.
The November General Election has the highest participation of voters. This would place the Special SPLOST Tax proposals only before the greatest number of voters. This also eliminates a need for costly (tens of thousands of dollars) special elections held at other times of the year.
Changing the description of the SPLOST on ballot referendums to the following; listing level 1 projects and estimated funding, followed by all other projects and their respective estimated funding.
This is about fairness and providing accurate information to the voters in order to make an informed decision.
Contact your representatives and tell them to support this proposal.
