Arkansas House Adopts Highway Funding Bills For Counties
The Arkansas House approved three measures to inject 2 million dollars immediately and 2 to 3 million annually for county highways. One Senate budget plan would route 7 million in available funds to construction and maintenance with 1 million to counties. A Mooday bill would release 1 million from surplus funds for county school bus and rural mail routes. A third Mooday measure would reallocate excess revenues to county highways, boosting annual funding if current revenue remains. The omnibus vote tally was 74 to 19 amid objections over a separate comptroller appropriation.
