David Scott
WASHINGTON D.C. — Thursday, U.S. District 13 Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., introduced the Airport Revenue Clarity Act, a bill that will return $30 million in tax revenue to Clayton County and the Clayton County Public Schools.
The measure addresses rules created by the Federal Aviation Administration that prevents the county from collecting revenue from local general sales taxes on aviation fuel.
“Clayton County and its schools lose more than $30 million every single year because of this unfair sales tax loophole,” said Scott. “These are funds that need to be supporting our students, strengthening our classrooms, and ensuring our teachers have the money they need to help our students succeed. Our students deserve the full benefit of the tax revenue generated in their own communi
