MARTA Oversight Committee Chairman: It’s Not Too Late to Avoid Big Cuts

After the Legislature failed to pass a bill to continue to give MARTA flexibility in how it spends its sales tax money, MARTA officials warned they will probably have to impose service cuts, or fare hikes–or both–in their budget for the coming fiscal year.  But the chairman of the Legislature’s MARTA Oversight Committee says it’s not to late to work something out to avoid those impositions for MARTA riders.  DeKalb County Republican Representative Mike Jacobs spoke with WABE’s Denis O’Hayer.
