AUGUSTA, Ga (WJBF) The Education Local Option Sales Tax is on the ballot. Voters will decide whether to renew the one-cent tax. It’s been around for decades and pays for new schools and improvements to schools. This includes technology upgrades. Watch our interview with Jeff Baker on The Means Report. He oversees construction projects for the Richmond County Board of Education. We hope you enjoy our chat. Join us for The Means Report Monday afternoons at 12:30 on NewsChannel 6.
