Final Cobb SPLOST Rallies Set for Sunday
Plus a complete list of East Cobb voting precincts for Tuesday's referendum.
Advance voting is complete; all that's left now is Tuesday's referendum to decide whether the Cobb Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax will continue through 2015 or run out at the end of this year.
According to the Cobb Board of Elections & Registration, 6,522 Cobb citizens took part in advance voting that ended Friday, with 220 additional mail ballots still unreturned. The proposed four-year, $492 million extension of the penny sales tax would fund a wide array of transportation and facilities improvements, including schools, public safety, parks and recreation and libraries.
An estimated of the funding, if approved by voters, would be spent on projects in East Cobb.
