Bridge money and alleged payoffs in 1961 probe
In testimony during cross examination a witness described payments linked to a highway bill in the internal affairs committee and a “strike bill” tied to bridge interests. Assemblyman Burnett allegedly demanded money to influence votes, with figures cited as up to 10 000 dollars, and plans to divide 4000. George W. Doughty denied any truth to Conger’s claims, saying he would have blocked the report of the strike bridge bill and never took money.
