It’s now a race against the clock--or legislative calendar--for state lawmakers. Six days remain in the General Assembly session, with the big topics of the state budget and transportation hovering over the proceedings.
Concerning the budget, with the full House passing its version late last week, the 2010 fiscal blueprint has now landed in the lap of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Meanwhile, a transportation funding plan for Georgia continues on two tracks. The House is expected to vote on a regional sales-tax plan for transportation projects, perhaps as early as today. The full Senate is likely to vote soon on its transportation funding proposal.
