Governor's Budget Promises Clash With Details at Capitol
As the 1990 legislative session begins on Jan 8, Governor pledges austere but fair and high and tight budgets, while few specifics emerge.

Officials warn highway plans face tax shifts, local aid cuts, and a potential return to higher speed limits unless action by March 8.
