Indiana Toll Road Fight Persists in Legislature
With just over a week left in the 1955 session Governor Craig’s toll road program avoids attack as the Senate bill stalls in House committee. Opponents failed to force it out, while a separate tax increase bill also lingers. Veterans note that bills dying in committee deny lawmakers a vote, a trend debated by leaders. Meanwhile alcoholism treatment expands in state hospitals and probation officer exams are set for March 17 at the State House.
