The plan calls for  $7.1 billion (page 22 ) in spending on the transportation projects identified in the document.  Many of the projects have Federal and local funds in addition to the funds from the TSPLOST.  The TSPLOST funds in the project list total $6.1 billion (page 22).  This blog will discuss several of the projects in this plan.  Projects which consume too much of the collected dollars and deliver too little improvement. 

I've looked at the detail behind the Atlanta Metro TSPLOST. I found that it does NOT serve the needs of the greater Atlanta Metro community. This Blog exists to urge you to vote and to vote NO. A yes vote add 1% to your sales tax and buys less than half the amount collected in road improvements. Say NO and make the authorities do it over.

This Blog will discuss some of the projected uses of the money collected and why they will not help improve Atlanta traffic.

Stop the waste of our money. Vote NO!
