Cobb officials to discuss upcoming legislative session

Dec 2, 2011

Cobb County will hold its annual legislative breakfast on Thursday detailing the county’s priorities for the upcoming legislative session.

Topping the list is a proposal by Commission Chairman Tim Lee to allow for local municipalities to conduct partial penny local sales tax collections. A constitutional amendment would be necessary to implement the change.

Cobb is also pushing for better sales tax collection methods and an increase in local alcoholic beverage taxes.

The breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Safety Village Training Center in Marietta.
