Todd Rehm over at Georgia News Network has posted a minute-long interview with Tommie Williams, R-Lyons, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee – which will hold a 4 p.m. meeting today to discuss the House transportation funding bill introduced last week.
The gathering is unusual because a House committee hasn’t held its first meeting on the bill. You can listen to Williams’ comments above. But toward the end, he sounds like he has a different approach in mind:
"The House bill is an attempt to go to only an excise tax. What I want our members to understand is what that means. How we will collect it, and how that will affect the locals, and how we can make that work – if we can make it work at all."
