The transportation funding bill in the Georgia legislature has had a bumpy ride so far, and the grumbling isn’t just coming from people outside the Gold Dome. “I think we’ll see some amendments that will make it more palatable and less costly to municipalities, which is something we’ve got to do,” state Rep. Lee Hawkins, R-Gainesville.
