Super Tuesday Is March 6: How Will You Vote?

Super Tuesday in Georgia will be one super vote in Georgia.

There's the Republican presidential primary, which includes Georgia's own and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

But voters in East Atlanta Patch will have a couple of local, but important issues to decide, too, on March 6.

Those voters in the city limits of Atlanta will be asked to vote to reauthorize a one-cent municipal option sales tax — MOST — that aims to keep water rates down.

If voters fail to renew the tax, water rates could increase by 25 to 30 percent.

Atlanta voters already reauthorized MOST in 2008 after first voting for it in 2004.

This next MOST authorization, if approved, would be for another four-year-period and is projected to generate up to $750 million on top of the $700 million generated in the first two authorizations.

Besides keeping water rates in check, revenue generated by MOST supports Clean Water Atlanta, the $4 billion water and sewer infrastructure improvement project.

In those neighborhoods of East Atlanta Patch that fall in unincorporated DeKalb County, voters will be asked to decide if they will approve Sunday sales of beer, wine and spirits as citizens in neighboring districts, including Atlanta, have already done.
