This past Tuesday, middle school students from Langston Chapel and William James played tennis matches against area rival schools on the courts of the Mill Creek Tennis Center. It was the first day the 10-court complex was open to public play and offered a clear example of benefits our community reaps from funds collected through the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Tuesday, voters in Bulloch County will decide if the penny tax will continue to be collected for six years past the 2013 expiration date through 2019.
