Gas tax use for transit defeated by House panel
House Public Works Committee voted 29 to 8 against diverting gasoline tax funds to mass and rapid transit. Supporters pledged a fight on the House floor while conservationists deleted controversial highway projects on a technicality. Rep. Bella Abzug argued for diversion but the committee rejected the general fund alternative. A point of order led to removing Great River Road and Three Sisters Bridge from the bill.
