Two Kentucky highway bonds and gas tax bills advance
In Frankfort two Chandler administration highway proposals neared final legislative approval as the House prepared to act. One measure would allow an $100 million highway bond issue at the November ballot while a second would impose a two cent per gallon fuel tax on trucks with more than three axles. The Senate had already passed related bills and House action followed a 72 to 0 approval on a separate measure to curb Johnson grass along rights of way. A separate resolution seeks a study of discriminatory marketing in the gasoline industry and a bid concern over a $166,000 contract for State Fairgrounds turnstiles.
