Click here for your copy of the Plan B transportation report
My AJC colleague Aaron Gould Sheinin has snagged a copy of the report from the House-Senate transportation funding committee that is likely to be at the center of next year's General Assembly session. The gist:
The final report of the Joint Study Committee on Critical Transportation Infrastructure Funding, landing in lawmakers' inboxes today, does not make specific recommendations on raising the estimated $1 billion to $1.5 billion in new money the state needs.
Instead, it offers a buffet of options, from creating a new 1-cent statewide sales tax, with half the proceeds going to cut the state income tax, to combining the state's two existing fuel taxes to dedicating the "fourth penny" of the sales tax on gas to transportation.
