T-SPLOST - Learn the Facts

The upcoming vote to agree to improve the quality of life not only in Upson County, but throughout the great state of Georgia is called T-SPLOST (Transportation Special Local Option Sales Tax). 

 Much has been written and spoken about this. It is an oversimplification to consider this simply a "tax."  It could determine whether Georgia's future and thus Upson's future improves or deteriorates.  How so?

 The declining ability to pay for maintaining roads, build new ones and move about efficiently will cause new and existing businesses to avoid Georgia. It could cost us dearly in job growth, tax base and aggravation in traffic gridlock.  We may pay a penalty in funding if we don't move ahead.

 The satisfaction of avoiding a tiny amount in the short run could cost more in the future.  Please keep your mind open in considering this important opportunity.  Take the time to learn the facts.

 The 2012 T-SPLOST is an opportunity for all Georgians to take control of their future by choosing to make significant investments in transportation projects that are vital both to the economy and quality of life throughout the state. With the upcoming vote on July 31 nearing, there are several misconceptions floating around about this one-penny sales tax. In order to help clarify statements of fiction from the facts of T-SPLOST, this primer serves as a guide to answer any potential questions you may have.

Over the next three weeks, we will post on this site items that are fact and fiction regarding the upcoming T-SPLOST.  Click Here to view the Facts And Fiction page.
