Public budgeting

Unit III PowerPoint Presentation

You are a budget and finance professional for a mid-sized county that desperately needs funding for a new county jail, road repair and expansion, and improvements to several schools. Citizens have been resistant to an across-the-board tax increase. As a result, the county commission is considering implementing a Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) or Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST), which would create a special purpose tax only for the aforementioned programs. The county manager has asked you to research the issue and provide a recommendation.

MBA 6841, Public Budgeting 3
