General Assembly scaling back transportation funding legislation?
April 1, 2008 at 2:42 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsThat’s what That Other Paper’s Jim Galloway is reporting.
According to his report, legislators on the conference committee in charge of tying up the loose ends are now pulling back and establishing a framework that next year’s session — and perhaps an entirely new breed of politicians — can finalize.
In this week’s CL, we hand out Arnie Awards to two legislators who pushed the funding strategy that would allow regions to impose a local option sales tax on themselves to generate funding that would help get them out of this congestion mess. If this resolution gets pulled, don’t be surprised if we do the same to their award.
I’m sure that’s got them shaking in their boots.
