Hearnes signs billboard control bill amid funding deadline
Gov. Warren E. Hearnes signed a controversial billboard control bill into law saying the federal government would accept its provisions after assurances from highway chief counsel Robert L. Hyder. He noted the bill’s timing to avoid losing 11.5 million in federal highway funds and warned its constitutionality would be decided by the Missouri Supreme Court if a test case is brought. The signing came as Senate Appropriations cut more than 30 million from his budget, highlighting ongoing compliance battles with Washington and pending welfare bills.
