Future transportation dollars at risk
Could transportation funding reach a stalemate yet again this year?
The politics between all the diverse constituencies at the state could torpedo progress for another year.
The state House is favoring a statewide sales tax. The state Senate is favoring a regional solution, giving metro counties the option to vote in a one-cent tax.
The big question is the role the governor will play. Will he side with the House or Senate, or will he promote his own agenda?

Welcome to Maria’s Metro
Welcome to SaportaReport, a site I hope will be a thought-provoking venue in making metro Atlanta and Georgia a great place to live, work, play and study.
For readers who are familiar with my writings at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, this column will be similar in scope to the one I wrote for the Horizon section for about a decade.
This will be my outlet to share perspectives of our region and our state, and to weigh in on how we can do better. My topics will range from transportation, the environment, the arts, philanthropy, urban design to leadership.
