Mayoral Candidates Disagree on Sales Tax for Property Tax Relief
Challenger Raymond Harris and incumbent Jonathan McCollar, candidates in the Statesboro mayoral race, have differing opinions on the Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST).
The FLOST is a proposed 1% property tax aimed at replacing revenue from a share of county and city property taxes, which would proportionally reduce the millage rate. This is one of two sales tax referendums on the November ballot, alongside the Board of Education's proposed five-year extension of the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (E-SPLOST).
- FLOST: a new 1% property tax to replace revenue and reduce millage rate
- E-SPLOST: a five-year extension of the existing tax
Early voting is currently in its third and final week, with the mayoral race appearing on the same ballot as these questions for Statesboro resident voters.
No direct quotes available from the candidate forum.
