Conferees Back 10 Man State Road Commission Plan
A conference committee recommended a 10 member State Road Commission appointed by the governor for the governor’s term. The panel would include six majority and four minority members with one from a road district. It would set road building policy, meet monthly, pay $25 daily up to $1,000 yearly plus travel, and could remove the road commissioner for cause. The plan blends House and Senate ideas, preserves auditing by independent CPAs every four years, and keeps purchasing through the State Purchasing Department.
