After a legislative commission meeting on Tuesday, a high-ranking Republican said there is no interest either to change the planned transportation tax referendum or pass sweeping regional mass transit legislation.
Rep. Donna Sheldon, R-Dacula, who chairs the commission set up to remake transit and also chairs the House Republican Caucus, said that both efforts are important enough that lawmakers need to spend some time on them during the next year. She said both issues likely would be addressed in 2012.
“I do not believe we’ll have legislation for this session,” Sheldon said of her commission’s transit work. “This is a major investment in the community and so we need to take our time and be careful. I have no desire to put a bandaid on this.”
