Senator Gore denounces House road funds plan
In Washington Senator Gore denounces the House approved plan for distributing federal interstate funds as highly inequitable and urges continuation of the current allocation formula. The Senate races to complete the multibillion dollar highway bill as tax provisions aim to raise about 14 percent more dollars, funding a 40 000 mile interstate network with 90 percent federal share. Gore argues the House method penalizes states with cautious estimates and favors those with high projections.
