Vote Tuesday on TSPLOST Brookhaven

This is just your friendly reminder to vote this Tuesday! The election will decide several local posts (mostly judges), but most of the talk has been around T-SPLOST - the 10 year transportation tax that will provide funding for things like Marta and The BeltLine, plus a number of road-related projects around metro Atlanta. I'm sure you've heard enough about the T-SPLOST issue - so the important part now is to go let your voice be heard. All of the metro area will vote on T-SPLOST.

Another big issue on the ballot is Brookhaven voting to become a city. Proponents of the measure say that Brookhaven deserves lower taxes and more local control. Others feel it will actually create a tax burden, and that the city will not be financially stable enough. Brookhaven has been a quickly growing area, attracting new residents with a bevy of new restaurants, shops, and entertainment options opening in recent years. Only local area residents will vote on the Brookhaven issue.
