What’s a state to do when the federal surface transportation program heads toward its Sept. 1 expiration date with little promise of a new transportation bill, and the Federal Highway Trust Fund’s expenditures outpace tax receipts about $1.25 billion a month?The good news is nobody expects Congress to allow the program to lapse. Washington will slap on some Band-Aid legislation taking states into 2015 (hint: November elections), but the wounds of partisanship will continue to fester. What Georgia should not be doing is holding its breath.
