Submitted by Civil-Merchant on Mon, 03/12/2018 - 12:45

This is driven by bill SB386 in the Georgia State Legislature that's already passed the Senate and has been favorably reported by the House Transportation Committee. The bill provides for the imposition of a transit special purpose local option sales and use tax for a 30 year period to be voted on by referendum. It creates 159 special districts (i.e. 159 Georgia counties) and a new governance authority entitled "Atlanta-region Transit Link "ATL" Commission" which consists of numerous appointed positions that are not accountable to the people. The commission will have sole authority to determine expenditure of federal funds for transit purposes within the jurisdiction of the authority. Even if you don't live in Cobb County, this bill impacts every county in the state and every taxpayer.
