Minnesota to open bids on thirty million highway bonds
ST PAUL AP The State of Minnesota will open bids June 24 on 30 million dollars in state highway bonds amid a credit crunch that may yield few offers. Auditor William O'Brien notes a 5 percent interest ceiling limits buyers, while 12 million dollars in general obligation building bonds are also up for bid. The highway plan, started two years ago, aims to accelerate trunk highway construction. The highway fund holds about 143 million dollars for projects, with payments to contractors spread over time. The department typically nets short term gains by investing unneeded funds in Treasury notes, but O'Brien suggests the state could buy its own bonds and refinance later if rates fall below the ceiling.

States' legislatures reach impotency due to self restrictions
Edwin C. Becker, a Republican North Dakota state senator and barley farmer, told a Woodrow Wilson School conference that state legislatures are growing impotent from archaic time limits, inadequate staff, poor facilities and low pay. He urged consolidation of federal grants into fewer departments to improve state-federal liaison and better target programs. Becker warned unless consolidation occurs, states will be unable to implement effective plans under block grants.
