DEL.ICIO.USMore on transportation: Sonny phoned home
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Several people have told us that Gov. Sonny Perdue, currently en route from China, had a conference call with House and Senate leaders this morning.
The legislation for a transportation sales tax was one of the topics discussed.
Two things of note: We’re told the governor was in favor of shifting the fourth penny sales tax on gasoline, which currently goes into the state’s general fund, toward road projects for rural Georgia. That’s considered the essential sweetener to get a two-thirds vote in the House.
The governor also indicated he was willing to be convinced to sign the enabling legislation. For more info, see this previous post.
