Private

school parents will be voting against SPLOST. These

parents know that entrusting the public schools with the

job of educating their children is much too scary. For

what is, often, large amounts of money, they send their

children to private schools where education and family

values are the emphasis, rather than dumbing down and

political correctness. Their sacrifices are large enough

already without adding to them.

Business

owners will not be voting for SPLOST. They will lose

income from those of other counties who come to Fayette

because of our cheaper tax rate. They will then shop

where they live and those in our county will have 1

percent less to spend at local businesses.

Fayette

County citizens who want to slow the out-of-control

growth that has flooded our schools will get their vote

in. They have not been able to get their elected

officials to stop the rampant growth. This will be their

chance to at least slow the relentless development.

The largest

group opposing SPLOST encompasses those who believe the 5

percent sales taxes, the gas taxes, the property taxes,

the ad valorem taxes, the inheritance taxes, the utility

taxes, the federal income taxes, and the state income

taxes are enough.

The school

board didn't want general election voters voting on

SPLOST because they knew it would be defeated. So they

scheduled a special election, at a cost to the taxpayers

of over $20,000, hoping only the PTA moms and teachers

would show up and pass the tax.

We need

every voting member of all the above mentioned groups to

show up on Sept. 21 and kill yet another tax.
