All the mayoral candidates said they do support SPLOST.Here are some highlights of the mayoral candidates’ responses during the forum, which was jointly sponsored by the East Liberty County Citizens Forum and the Liberty County Branch of the NAACP.WaterWater service is a touchy subject in Riceboro.
