ATLANTA (February 16, 2016) | Sen. John Albers (R – Roswell) wishes to share the following statement from Alpharetta City Councilmen Jim Gilvin and Jason Binder:
“Voters in the 5 major cities of North Fulton county have spoken and oppose a massive tax increase to support a Marta heavy rail extension. When presented with a reasonable and accurate set of facts, the poll showed a clear landslide rebuttal. Women opposed the tax increase and rail line by almost 63% and Republicans by almost 69%. Democrats also opposed by a slim majority and African-Americans opposed by over 66%. All age demographics were a majority against the tax increase and rail line. The poll was conducted by Landmark Communications a respected, non-biased firm.”
As a reference, the poll results are attached.
