DCTC would like to thank you for caring enough to vote. We
know that it is inconvenient to have to vote on tax matters ever few months. We
feel these tax votes should be conducted only in general elections when more people
vote. In 2008 we will be demanding lawmaker reform the SPLOST laws to limit
their use.
We hope you will stay active in the affairs of your county
and let your elected officials know what you think.
Interested in running for office? We need good qualified
candidates to serve this county. Weather you’re a “R”- “D”- “L” or “I” if you
believe in limited government and lower taxes we need to hear from you!

state not to spend the $142 million it saved when Gov. Sonny Perdue
vetoed a property tax rebate in May.
The group wants the money returned to taxpayers.

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.
