The effects of failed transportation sales tax votes across Georgia on July 31 are now being seen on city and county government ledgers. To claim state road money for local improvements, such as paving and bridge repair, governments must match funding by 30 percent of the total, up from 10 percent. For example, a government entitled to $100,000 must submit a list of projects totaling $130,000 and be willing to pick up the additional $30,000 tab.
