Kit Dunlap President & CEO Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce
Just look at what the one-penny sales tax has already done for our local schools and infrastructure. With your YES vote, this Special Local Option Sales Tax for transportation will do the same good job to improve and relieve traffic on our stressed roadways – while keeping your property taxes down at the same time. In this issue of BusinessLink and on the Chamber's website (GreaterHallChamber.com), you will find much more information about T-SPLOST. It’s important to educate yourself. Most importantly, please exercise your right to vote. Let’s come together – no matter your party affiliation or politics – to support T-SPLOST. It’s a good thing for everyone in Hall County.
