At least two Carroll County commissioners have issue with the upcoming county SPLOST vote and spending proposals. Commissioners Kevin Jackson and Vickie Anderson both say the SPLOST referendum vote scheduled for 2012 is too early for a tax that won’t be collected until 2015.
In addition, Jackson questions the use of SPLOST dollars to build a brand new county administration office. “The tier one project in this is tearing down the annex building and I’m going to have to think about that long and hard,” he says. “The one thing I do want to make sure is that the public is in full knowledge of what the chairman has proposed to do with this SPLOST referendum.”
Jackson refers to improvements to the office of tax commissioner Vickie Bearden, as his prime example of why he believes it would be a greater use of taxpayers money to remodel the current county office instead of demolishing the current building to construct a new one.
