State Rep. Nelson Dollar is focused on roads.
The Cary Republican said that his biggest priority during the short session is putting together a transportation bond for the fall and spending more road money on urban and suburban congestion.
"We need to fix the transportation funding formula so that we're addressing areas like we have here in the Triangle where commuters are driving on roads that were never designed for commuter traffic," he said.
Aside from the budget, his biggest goal is enacting a temporary moratorium on involuntary annexations.
"You've got far too many cities and towns in the past 10 years that have been aggressively reaching out and trying to grab these folks for their tax base," he said. "These folks have no real voice in the process."
