Ohio highway funding law faces constitutional challenge
Less than a day after a new law aimed at funding highway land purchases took effect, a mandamus suit was filed in the Ohio Supreme Court. The action, led by Highway Director Everett S. Preston, targets State Treasurer Joseph T. Ferguson over checks for land purchases for the Millcreek Expressway. The law allows use of funds from three state retirement systems and the Industrial Commission, up to 10 percent of total funds, and Ferguson says the purchases exceed the state debt limit of 750000 dollars.
