10/4: What projects should T-SPLOST fund?
Moderated by Tom Sabulis
Business leaders continue to write in support of the transportation special purpose local option sales tax, which goes to voters next year. And politicians and former officeholders continue to offer ways to adjust and improve the list of projects that will get the $6 billion in funding if the 1 percent tax is approved.
Today, we offer a voice from each camp.
Bob Irvin, former Georgia House minority leader, writes that priorities need to be set for traffic and transit.
Daryl Dulaney, president and CEO of Siemens Industry Inc., believes that transportation is the key to growth.

The big problem is that development in the region has been piecemeal. Older cities like Chicago had transit in place and the development followed in many of those transit areas. We have developments all over the place and no central way to easily access even with transit. Mass transit in Atlanta will not work because for the most part there is no way to get from point A to Point B in a reasonable amount of time so the only folks that use it are the ones who are too poor to have a choice.
