Wyoming Faces Federal Road Aid and State Highway Commission Demand
The Sheridan Post reports a favored substitute for the Shackleford bill proposing $150 million for road work over five years, with states matching federal funds and Wyoming required to form a state highway commission to receive money. The plan prioritizes construction and uses area as a factor, benefiting Wyoming due to its large area and small population. If Wyoming delays, credits may await three years. Local efforts aim to mobilize commercial groups to press for action ahead of the next legislature.
