Governor Vic Donahey challenged the Republican legislature over highway funding in Columbus after a finance sub committee demanded a detailed budget for 38 million dollars in gravel road maintenance. Donahey warned he would seek a fourth term if the plan is blocked, arguing the move is an attempt to derail his gravel road program. Highway director George F.
