This week saw the beginning of early voting in Cobb County.  With it comes a push by the county commission to vote for a transit tax that if approved would impose a 1% sales tax for the next 30 years.  Think about that for a moment; your middle schooler would be in their mid 40s at the end of the tax.

There are many issues I see with this proposed transit tax.  First, and foremost is calling it an MSPLOST.  By definition, a SPLOST is a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Many will remember my numerous NO votes for previous SPLOST proposals because I felt that the project list was mostly wants and not needs.
