The US Transportation Secretary released the $10m in funds and apparently the Federal Highway Administration has pledged more emergency repair funds. So it's not like Atlanta needs to pass a special tax or anything to pay for this.

I'm not saying unions are entirely bad, and they DO have a purpose, it's just that it's kind of slowly added up to start being a bad thing. I think it was GM or Ford was paying like 4.5 people to do 1 person's job with pensions and benefits and all that.

Unless George Soros decided to gift Atlanta the funds, maintenance of public roadways there is most certainly done by public funding.
