From the article:

On Wednesday night, DeKalb County Board members began considering a county-wide 1% grocery tax.

It appears they changed the article contents? I looked and couldn’t find anything about making a parking fee or gas tax. Only that the state is removing a 1% grocery tax and is giving each county the option of keeping or removing the tax.

Maybe there’s another article or meeting minutes?
