He plans to push the idea in the next legislative session and also backs a constitutional amendment to allow industrial revenue bonds without voter approval. He notes added revenue from special plates and opposes low numbered plates amid a court challenge.

No Withholding Needed Says State Treasurer
State Treasurer James Spainhower said portions of this year's appropriations should not have to be withheld if Gov. Christopher S. Bond and the legislature exercise restraint. He noted a 3 percent withholding could be avoided if the economy improves and officials refrain from heavy cuts. He cited a 3 percent potential cut and varied revenue figures, predicting cash reserves might not be endangered unless the administration proceeds with withholding. Investment income remained high but was down $2.8 million year over year, signaling ongoing financial strain.
