In light of the court's recent decision, there has been speculation over what our next steps should be regarding the fate of SPLOST VI. This measure passed with 70% support. I believe our current commission should respect the will of the people. While the county appeals this measure in the courts, it should re-submit the measure with the needed language changes without altering the split percentages with the City of Cumming. To do so would be the equivalent of a parent rewarding a child for throwing a temper tantrum. Let's get this back in front of the voters at the earliest possible date, but refuse to change the terms. To change the terms now after the people have already approved the measure would be a breech of trust with the voters. The county and city will be just fine going a few months at a 6% sales tax instead of 7%. Despite the doom-and-gloom warnings from the nay-sayers, the sky is not falling, and the sun will shine again tomorrow.”
