California Highway Commission to spend over 100 million
A seven member group in Sacramento, largely unknown to the public, is preparing plans to spend more than 100 million in tax money. The California Highway Commission will allocate highway funds, set routes, and initiate projects for the 1963 84 period, with an expected total around 85 million. The panel operates independently, its members appointed by the governor with Senate confirmation, and faces budget control gaps while communities press for funding.
