Legislature passes highway bond program in mid 1972 session
Kansas lawmakers moved to the halfway point of the 1972 session by approving a $320 million highway bond plan to accelerate road building. The measure allows up to $40 million in bonds annually for eight years with revenue from baseline taxes, and grants the Highway Commission authority to build toll segments. The bill awaits Gov. Docking's signature as he praised the step but had not signed by week’s end.
