When TSPLOST Wins, Atlanta Wins

And you lose.

See, the City of Atlanta is the only constituent of its region that will see more money flow in than its residents and visitors will pay out. This is particularly egregious insult to the rest of the region when one considers the amount of sales tax collected in the City of Atlanta that comes from folks who live elsewhere. Atlanta is all take and little give.

So if you are a resident of Atlanta proper, you win big on the TSPLOST lotto. If you don't, well, now you know how THEY can afford trolleys and beltline projects.
