Crisp voters consider new e-splost

Crisp Countians weigh whether to extend a sixth special local option sales tax for schools

CORDELE, GA- Crisp County voters will go to the polls in November to decide whether another 5 year special tax for schools should be approved.

Monday night at the Crisp County Middle School’s old auditorium, a community forum was held for parents and interested citizens.

Crisp County Schools’ Superintendent Cindy Hughes points to the new middle school as proof positive the e-splost is working for both students and the community.

Hughes says Crisp County has enjoyed the fruits of the special local option sales tax, which equates to an extra penny of every dollar spent in Crisp County.

Hughes says the e-splost helps alleviate financial stress on property owners and their taxable millage rates as the e- splost is a consumption tax.

Voters are set to go to the polls Tuesday, November 2nd.
