Lawmakers Reject Substitute Bill 87 1058 On Farm to Market Roads
The General Assembly engrossed an enabling act to carry Proposition 3 into effect. The House debated the Whitaker Elmer Bales substitute, aiming to reserve funds for farm to market roads, but opponents argued it would hinder the Highway Commission. After hours of debate, the substitute was defeated 87 to 58. Senate amendments to set aside funds were also defeated. The House approved thirty-one bills, including road law revisions and a poultry theft prevention measure, while plans for a state office building and revenue raises moved forward.
