This summer’s transportation sales tax referendum left officials with mixed feelings, both in Bulloch County, where voters rejected TSPLOST, and in neighboring counties where it was approved.In Bulloch County, which is part of the Coastal Region where the TSPLOST failed, total sales taxes will remain at 7 percent, while neighboring counties such as Candler and Evans will see theirs rise to 8 percent in January.But Candler, Evans and the rest of the Heart of Georgia-Altamaha Region will receive millions of new dollars for transportation projects while Bulloch and the other nine counties of the Coastal district go lacking.“Bulloch County would have been probably what they call a receiver county rather than a donor county, and we would have gotten a huge windfall from it, but that didn’t occur,” County Manager Tom Couch said. “So I would probably characterize our feelings as a little bit mixed, but we’re not crying over spilled milk.”In Bulloch, 52.6 percent of voters said no to TSPLOST, which was rejected by 57.5 percent of voters across the Coastal Region.The region had been predicted to rake in $1.6 billion over the 10-year life of the tax. Among the state’s 12 transportation regions, Coastal would have been a distant second to the region that includes Atlanta, where revenues were projected to top $8.4 billion.
