What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Infrastructure
Cobb County would renew its 1% sales tax for up to six years to pay for roads, parks, public buildings and technology. Shoppers would keep paying one cent per dollar on taxable purchases, so the total county sales tax rate would stay the same.
