Bailey Approves Debt Assumption For New Road Districts
Governor Bailey signed House Bill 596 and Senate Bill 438 authorizing debt relief for Mississippi county road districts and several bridge districts. The measures allocate funds to pay principal and interest on bonds issued to build farm to market roads and highway bridges, while excluding Main Street Bridge District from state aid under the Refunding Act. The bills face criticism over refunding act compliance and potential precedent for future relief.
