HB 170 has been passed out of subcommittee, and moves on to the full transportation committee. Passage of this bill would take twelve million dollars a year from Valdosta/Lowndes County in one fell swoop, to be spent up in Atlanta. It will force local governments to make up this shortfall, that is, increase taxes, or cut services severely.
This is NOT a good thing for us here in Valdosta and Lowndes County. In fact, it's pretty bad. I want to know if our Republican representatives are towing the party line on this, or are they going to bat for their constituents and resisting this money grab.
