ESPLOST Passed



If you go to lowndescounty.com, pull down Government at the top,
select Board of Elections, then

Election Results, you can select a format for displaying
election results.
And the results at 8:50 PM 15 March 2010 are:

BOE SALES TAX QUESTION VOTES
YES 82.66% 2,931
NO 17.34% 615
Total Votes: 3,546

I think it’s safe to say
ESPLOST passed.
