The Marietta Daily Journal – Anti tax activist tapped for SPLOST oversight panel

MARIETTA — Lance Lamberton, president of a local anti-tax group, has been an enthusiastic warrior against the county’s special purpose local option sales tax referendums.

Lamberton, who is Libertarian, has been appointed by Commissioner Lisa Cupid, a Democrat, to serve on the SPLOST 2011 Oversight Committee — the group that monitors the county’s SPLOST program.

The Board of Commissioners will vote on whether to approve the appointment at its 9 a.m. meeting today.

“While Lance Lamberton may be known for being anti-tax, he is also for tax dollars being wisely spent in the district and across Cobb,” Cupid said Monday. “He, along with the policy analyst and sales professional I have appointed, should serve to our county’s benefit.”
