500 Good Reasons To Trust The T-SPLOST (Dripping in Sarcasm)

500 Good Reasons To Trust The T-SPLOST

“Some of you have expressed opposition to the upcoming T-SPLOST because you don’t believe that raising sales taxes by 1 percent will solve metro Atlanta’s traffic problems. Well, you doubters need to look at the return on investment the folks at Citizens for Transportation Mobility are getting on the money they’re spending to persuade you to vote yes on the T-SPLOST.

“Citizens for Transportation Mobility is a “Ballot Committee,” which means they’re registered with the all-powerful “Georgia Government Transparency and Finance Commission” and are required by that mighty Commission to list all donations and expenditures once they’ve raised or spent more than $500. The ironclad disclosure laws of Georgia say so right here.

“CTM has been running a pretty involved campaign to persuade you to vote yes on the tax increase. They’ve hired a professional campaign consultant, sent mailers out, had tele-townhall meetings, printed signs, produced videos and sent out more than 300,000 phone calls. Also, they have a nifty website. And they’ve done ALL that for less than $500.”
