Legislators forbidden to contract on road projects
Assistant Attorney General L C Sutton says lawmakers who were in the Legislature when the highway commission law passed are barred by constitutional provisions from contracting with any Texas county for highway construction. Senator Buchanan, then a Thirty-fifth Legislature member, would thus be prohibited from such a Bell county project. It would also violate the constitution for a legislator to contract if highway funds are donated from another appropriation by which he served.
