VOTE YES FOR CITY OF SOUTH FULTON

http://youtu.be/byvISZUVf3k

Many of the civic leaders who live in South Fulton support the formation of the new City because:

The unincorporated South Fulton area pays for City Services provided by Fulton County with a Special Services Tax. If we become a City those taxes will be paid to the new City. So we are acting like a City now!!! 

As a City we would be eligible for Local Option Sales Tax ( LOST) revenue. 

Since we did not become a City the last time we had a chance to vote for it 6 years ago we have missed out on over $15 million per year. That is $90 million (estimated )! That is a lot of lettuce!!! :-))

This year we would have received close to $18 million. As a City we would also receive another $2 million in user and franchise fees. These dollars would keep our taxes at or lower than they are now and improve services. 

I support Cityhood for reasons of fiscal control and self determination so politicians that do not live on our side of town will no longer make decisions about my government services! 
And to get all the revenue we deserve to keep my tax rate low!!!
Any questions about forming the New City or to donate your time, cash and talent email Benny Crane President of the Board of South Fulton United, Inc. at

This non profit was formed to raise funds to pay for the Study to determine the level of viability of a New City of South Fulton. 
God bless and Happy Holidays!!
