Here are the top three stories in Savannah today:

1. Savannah's Oglethorpe Driving Club has donated over $16,000 to Bethesda Academy's scholarship fund. The funds were from the Club's Cars on the Burn event held on Oct. 29. This year's donation was the Club's largest to the school's scholarship fund. (WSAV-TV)
2. Chatham County voters report spending up to three hours in early voting lines for the state's runoff election. According to one resident, the wait times were significantly longer than they were a few weeks ago during the midterm election. According to election officials, the main issue was voter check-in. (WJCL News Savannah)
3. Chatham County and its municipalities have until Dec. 30 to come to an agreement over the Local Option Sales Tax. If the county and municipalities do not come to an agreement, then the tax will go away. The missed deadline and tax will directly impact the county's homeowners. Savannah homeowners will likely see a 60 percent increase in property taxes if the agreement is not made. (WTOC)
