Proposed Georgia amendment to fund Jeff Davis County bonds
Governor Talmadge proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Jeff Davis County by its fiscal authority to issue Funding Bonds to retire existing warrant indebtedness. If approved, county operations move to cash basis, with checks for payments and budgets controlling all county costs except courts, schools, and related expenses. The measure sets bond terms not exceeding thirty years and requires a county tax levy to pay principal and interest. The proposal will be voted on at the next general election.
