Monroe County SPLOST Back On Ballot in March 2012

Tonight, the Monroe County Commission is moving forward with a plan for the 2014 SPLOST. The commissioners, and mayors sat down to discuss the percentage split among the county, Forsyth, and Culloden to make sure all the citizens benefit fairly if the next penny tax passes.

There’s still two years before the Monroe County SPLOST expires, but local leaders are already pushing the penny tax back to the ballot for March 2012.

“This cumulative agreement between city and county is very important because of things we’ve got to start planning for in 2013, and 2014,” says Mayor Tye Howard, Forsyth.
