Tax talk today in Athens

A committee that is overseeing work on projects that are being funded by the transportation sales tax approved by Athens-Clarke County voters in 2017 meets today: it’s a 5:30 session at City Hall in downtown Athens.

Madison County Commissioners meet tonight: it’s a 6 o’clock session at the Government Complex in Danielsville.

Today marks the start of the second week of early voting in the third election to fill the District 28 seat in the Georgia House: two previous elections were tossed out because of problems with voters casting ballots in the wrong district. Former Banks County School Superintendent Chris Erwin won both those elections, defeating Republican incumbent Dan Gasaway. The early voting ends April 5; election day itself is April 9. Voters are casting ballots in parts of Banks, Stephens, and Habersham counties. 

Habersham County government offices that were closed last Friday are reopening this morning in new headquarters off Toccoa Highway in Clarkesville. Habersham County Commissioners will hold the first meetings in the new facility today: they're holding budget sessions with the heads of various Habersham County government agencies.
