The Georgia State Senate is expected to pass a transportation bill Tuesday, that could ultimately lead to regional taxes to fund regional transportation projects.
The House has unveiled their plan, which would ask voters to implement a statewide sales tax for fixed statewide projects.
Yet, the differences between the two might not be worked out this session, according to Senate Republican Majority Leader, Chip Rogers.
"It’s a 2010 ballot issue. While we would love to pass it out this session so we could go around the state and explain what’s in the measure, we also recognize that we’re not under any hard deadline until the next session."The House version would cost 25 billion dollars over 10 years, and lists specific projects to be completed. We'll post a link when the legislation is placed online.
