And the lions share will be spent on roads in Atlanta. Savannah, Augusta and the rest of the state will see token road improvements. Heck, they’ll probably use it to buy more red light cameras

There might be a few road improvements, but primarily this is just a wealth transfer from the long suffering GA taxpayer to the corporate fat cats who fund the Ga chamber of Commerce.

The Iowa Method is to actually spend the money on the roads, but ensure that they don't last too long before needing replacement. The other two legs of the Hawkeye oligarchy's stool (public schools and gi-normous agriculture) don't seem to begrudge the road builders, probably because they can't bus the dwindling number of farm kids to the mega-schools or accommodate all the subsidized land barons cum truck operators without Class A or better roads.
