“Sales tax money is coming in over budget. So where’s the extra going?”
Where it stands
We haven’t confirmed the “over budget” part yet. Here’s what’s on the record: the county’s current SPLOST, the one-cent sales tax that pays for county projects, was approved by voters on Nov. 8, 2022. It started collecting in April 2023 and runs through March 2029.
The county’s online budget pages list that timeline but not how much has come in. Next step: an open records request for the county’s SPLOST revenue reports and project spending. We’ll update this when we have the numbers.
Our ground rulesWe only stamp things we can check: businesses, buildings, roads, public money, and what public officials do on the job. We don’t publish rumors about private people’s personal lives. If we can’t confirm something, we say so. If we got something wrong, we fix it and say that too.
