Here are the top three stories in Savannah today:

1. The majority of Chatham County voters have voted down a Transportation Special Purpose Sales Tax (TSPLOST). The tax would have provided funding for road projects in the county. The referendum failed by only 1,400 votes. The TSPLOST would have provided $240 million for various road projects such as repairing the I-95 interchange. (WTOC)
2. SAFE Shelter for Domestic Violence Service will be hosting its annual Gala this weekend at the Palmetto Club on Skidaway Island.
