Gov. Dale Bumpers' $30 million statewide highway program is in jeopardy as a Little Rock to Pine Bluff four lane proposal provokes legislative action. Analysts warn that overturning highway commission powers could cripple planning. A veto or court challenge looms, with broader calls to back the governor's plan and raise funds via a one cent gas tax.
