From Marietta, Ga.: A November referendum will ask voters to renew a one-cent tax to fund various projects. The tax, known as a Special Local Option Sales Tax, or SPLOST, would generate $1.1 billion in funding. Projects that could be funded include a new courthouse and moving a library.

Cobb County Chairwoman Lisa Cupid notes that voters have certain expectations, such as roads without potholes and accessible libraries. The decision to approve the tax is up to the voters.

Further details about the referendum and the proposed projects are available from the source.
