The rejected tax extension proposal was intended to fund neighborhood reinvestment initiatives. Further details on the mayor's letter and the commissioners' decisions are available from Atlanta News First. The letter reportedly highlights the commissioners' priorities, as seen in their recent votes on the jail and tax extension proposals.
