The fork in the road is fast approaching for state lawmakers in this General Assembly session--whether to adopt a transportation funding plan, or delay such a measure until next year’s Capitol session.

In the process, it OK’d a gutted version of the House transportation measure, where the bulk of the language was replaced with the Senate’s original plan. The two chambers now have only five days left in the session to strike a compromise on a transportation funding model.
