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.

recommendations. These sources must be presented in APA format.
