Senate backs highway funds shift over regional split
The Senate rejected appeals by northern lawmakers to preserve the 45-55 North South division for highway funds, clearing the Mills bill 21-13 to move to a Southern dominated Assembly. Northern Sens Short and Marks argued the bill would boost the South's share at the North's expense, while Mills defended it as directing funds to where the greatest need exists. Governor Reagan declined to take a position but urged the Highway Commission to curb dangerous curves. Senator Way broke ranks to vote yes, noting part of his district would benefit.
