DeKalb considers sale tax for road repair

Did you know that it can cost $500 or more to repair each pothole in DeKalb County?

That may not sound like a lot, but when you consider that last year the county filled in more than 4,500 of those tire busters, the cost can add up quickly.

In addition to filling potholes, DeKalb's elected leaders are preparing to ask voters to approve an additional 1 percent sales tax that would be dedicated to roads and other infrastructure. To learn more about the sales tax plan, visit myAJC.com.
