Oconee County Board of Education Chair Michael Ransom got sidetracked on Monday evening as he made the case to the Oconee County Republican Party for the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) referendum that will be on the ballot in November.
Ransom began his presentation by explaining why the Board had decided to put the tax referendum on the ballot even though the existing tax isn’t scheduled to expire for two years. He also identified the projects the new tax will fund and said what will happen if voters turn down the referendum on Nov. 4.
