John says he may go out and hold this sign today:

8.29% in one year?



It needs to be a really BIG sign, to convey the message adequately.

It's the time of year for the SPLOST votes here in Georgia. Next Tuesday is the vote on SPLOSTs for Transportation and the schools. They've figured out people don't like the idea of having sales taxes run up again, so the heading on the signs is for folks to vote for a new "Pay As You Go" system for the schools.

Yea. PAYGO as worked so well for Social Security. The schools should be peachy after a decade or so of this program.

Hopkinton went up something like 8.7% last year.
