Hearnes Attacks Truckers on Transportation Bond Stand
Gov. Warren Hearnes denounces Missouri Bus and Truck Association opposition to a 730 million transportation bond as misleading and shortsighted. He defends funds routed to cities and counties, highway patrol, revenue, and other state uses, while Farm Bureau President Dick Johnston asserts rural Missourians oppose diverting highway user money to mass transit or airports. The Building Trades Council backs the bond, saying projects total over 2.5 billion and modernize highways, airports, transit, and bridges.
