Committee leaves transportation funding to lawmakers

Georgia will have to cover a $1 billion to $1.5 billion transportation funding gap to stay economically competitive, a committee of lawmakers is warning in a report issued Tuesday. The group says the legislature needs to figure out where the money will come from during the session that begins on Jan. 12. Transportation is expected to be the dominant issue in the coming year as Republican Gov. Nathan Deal begins his second and final term in office.
