Stores in nearby Forsyth & Gwinnett Counties are rejoicing in the future business to be expected from Johns Creek residents avoiding the additional sales that was approved Tuesday night.
As expected, higher income areas of Johns Creek & Milton voted AGAINST the TSPLOST, and yet will have to pay for construction in other parts of Fulton County.
The Park Bond passed as expected by the City hired Consultants. Cricket players from Metro Atlanta are jubilant for the future fields in Cauley Creek.

22.6 million hours of labor. That is the equivalent amount of hours worked that that the Fulton County TSPLOST will collect over the next five years from residents. (Divide 589 million by the average hourly wage of $26)
Add those hours together with the 1% LOST already collected, and you are working 52.8 million hours over the next five years as a county to pay both the LOST and the TSPLOST.
So while some may think it's just a cent or so here and there think again.
For those government officials that think this is just found money, please think again. Spend this money carefully, as it represents a tremendous amount of labor from your constituents.
We will be watching carefully.
We truly appreciate a P.E.'s comments on project delivery. Let's find the best engineering consultants and construction contractors to make JC great again!
I just saw in the Johns Creek Herald (page 6 of Nov 17th edition) that all cities passed TSPLOST. Milton had 50.6% and Johns Creek had 50.005%, while Sandy Springs had 57% approval. Looks like every city approved it in North Fulton.
