Why not wait until November for a SPLOST vote?
The question continues to be asked why the school board does not wait until November to hold the SPLOST election. Waiting until a general election would save the school board money, right? Well, actually, in this case, No. We have contacted the elections supervisor and we have been told that there are no elections scheduled for November, 2009. So, the Board of Education will have to pay for the election whether it is held in September or November, and honestly, the sooner the better. We need to get some new schools coming up out of the ground!

Let me offer a different question: Why not delay the SPLOST referendum vote to JULY 2010? There is an election scheduled for that date already and there will be no additional cost to taxpayers by adding the SPLOST referendum to that ballot.
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't the vote be scheduled for July 2010 instead of September 2009, since going forward with a special election at that time will cost taxpayers an additional $120,000, according to the Board of Elections?
