Pay-as-you-go highway plan loses round
Arkansas lawmakers clashed over a pay-as-you-go highway plan backed by Gov. Dale Bumpers. House defeat did not end the bill, which seeks to raise 30 million dollars annually via a penny increase and federal revenue sharing. Opponents cited gasoline price impacts and insufficient county matching funds. A separate four-lane Little Rock to Pine Bluff proposal also advanced.

Circuit, prompting the government to seek a high court hearing after an extension from Chief Justice Burger. The suit was by the Reservists Committee to Stop the War.
