House Bill 170, which would change the way Georgia funds highway projects, is a moving target. Local officials around the state objected to the way the bill eliminates local sales taxes on motor fuels, requiring action by boards such as county commissions and city councils to make up the difference with a new excise tax. But that was never the whole bill, and changes are being proposed this week to address some of the concerns of local governments.
