Deficit Seen For Highways In Louisiana
James W. Moore, fifth district highway board member, warned that the Louisiana Department of Highways may close the current fiscal year with a deficit of 20.8 million dollars unless new funds arrive. He said the minimum expenditures would exceed the 93 million dollar budget by 20.812 million. The board discussed finances in Baton Rouge, noting the department has pared the program to an absolute minimum. A one percent sales tax was suggested in a full legislative session to raise about 55 million, with 35 million for teacher pay raise and 20 million to cover highway deficits. Governor McKeithen is expected to call a fall special session for revenue increases, though specifics were not disclosed.
