Coming May 28: SPLOST Reports
Written by DCTC   
Thursday, 24 May 2007

On May 28 the Douglas County Taxpayers Coalition (DCTC) will begin coverage of the 2007 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) referendum plan for a September 18 vote.

Last year voters rejected a $145 million SPLOST by 53 to 47 percent. As a result, sales tax for Douglas County will drop one percent to 6 percent, the same as Cobb County.

On May 15 the Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a new tax proposal of $166 million for six years with 12 year bonds.

Will SPLOST raise your property taxes?

How much interest will the bonds cost taxpayers?

Do we really need to build a new $130 million prison complex?

Should government be competing with local business owners with swimming pools and gymnasiums?

What is the County really asking for?
