Long County voters on Nov. 7 will decide whether or not to continue supporting the special purpose local option sales tax, or SPLOST. The tax amount is 1 cent on every dollar spent in the Long County and was approved six years ago. According to Long County Commission Chairman Mike Riddle, over the last six years the tax has raised more than $3 million, which was spent on recreation, roads and public safety in the county and in Ludowici. "A lot of folks are under the impression that the SPLOST on the ballot right now is a new 1-cent sales tax, but it is not," he said.
