Witnesses detail alleged funds misuse by highway director
In Montgomery prosecutors argue Mack Roberts, once state highway director under Gov. Siegelman, steered a state road to a toll bridge and steered $42 million to Rainline, a promoted product. Testimony links Allen Rainline profits to a 1998 campaign pledge. District witnesses say Rainline lacked standard testing but saw high DOT support before Melnnes halted use.
