Lawmakers clash over highway bill amid funding battles
The legislature debated highway funding with Sen. Bumpers arguing for more votes and delay, while Rep. Howell warned of $20 million in ongoing litigation. The House approved the measure 58-21 though legal opinion suggested 75 votes needed. A rural road funding amendment failed on a voice vote as plans to match county funds faced opposition. The full-service bank bill passed again with Garland County exempt for three years, a move tied to a bank officer's interests.
