Held Atlanta proposal calls for task force on alternative sales-tax uses

A held Atlanta resolution proposes creating a Municipal Option Sales Tax, or MOST, alternative-uses task force. The group would examine the fiscal, legal, operational and policy implications of changing how the tax’s proceeds are used.

Resolution 26-R-3939 calls for recommendations on the next potential reimposition of MOST and any state or local legislation needed to authorize additional uses. The Finance/Executive Committee’s Sept. 30 minutes list it as held, following an Aug. 26 substitute and hold, with Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint. This proposal does not itself redirect tax proceeds.
