Governor vows renewed drive on road plan this year
The governor, who sought office on a pledge to pave the state’s major route, plans to renew the fight this year. He may send a special message to both Houses if lawmakers resist adopting a road program quickly. Indications suggest Highway Director Ward Mets may settle for a bond issue if no other option prevails, enabling a statewide vote on the highway plans. The governor hints at possible statewide action before the Legislature meets and ties the program to promised increases in old age pensions up to 45 a month.
