AUGUSTA, GA (Anibal Ibarra) - UPDATE - The Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) 7 will be on the ballot November 3 to be approved by the voters of Richmond County. The final list of projects to be covered by the sales tax collection, in the amount of $215.5 million, is Non Governmental Organization (NGO) free. A last minute attempt to include $10 million to help 6 of over 2,000 non-profits entities in Augusta failed for lack of second to the motion.
Another round of conversations about the projects to be included in the list for the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) 7 will take part again during the Richmond County Commission meeting. This time the city legislative body could put back some of the outside agencies in the list. To make more dramatic the process of approval, city Administrator Janice Jackson took out all the entities from the original proposal of $17,828,827, including Paine College and the Augusta Mini Theater. Are they going to be included for the referendum? WATCH THE SESSION HERE
