A Georgia Department of Transportation board member has proposed that an additional one percent, statewide sales tax be imposed to pay for transportation improvements in the state. Do you think that is a fair and efficient way for the DOT to raise money and manage its budget? Do you have any other suggestions?
"Yes, I think it's fair and efficient, and no, I don't have any other suggestions." JOSIE WATERS Homemaker
"No, I don't think that's a fair way to manage the budget or to raise money. I don't have any other suggestions on it." MICHELLE McCLAIN Forklift Driver
"No, I don't think they should raise the sales tax. I think they should use the gas tax." ED HAMRICK Southern States
"Yes, that way it would share the expense for everybody instead of the landowners. Everybody would pitch in and help provide for it." LARRY PILGRIM Driver, UPS
