As reported by the Drudge Report this morning, taxpayers
in the Atlanta Metro region overwhelmingly defeated a $7.2 billion
transportation referendum.
There were a number of elections in Georgia yesterday and the voters in the Atlanta Metro region had the opportunity to allow a tax increase. They made it quite clear that a 1% sales tax increase wasn't in their 10-year plan...
It should also be noted that the advocates for the 10-year, 1% sales tax increase raised $8 million while the opponents came out victorious with contributions totalling only $15 thousand.
