Speaker Folsom argued a $12.5 million state match and $60,000 per county yearly from the trust fund could fund about 40 miles of roads per county if bonds pass. He noted differing costs by geology and said counties may adjust spending to current prices. He contrasted private expansion by big firms with road needs and urged shifting funds from the gasoline tax trust to county road building.
