Tax-Fund Hike Cleared in Senate Split on Highway Funds
The Senate approved a bill by Sen. James Mills to shift highway funds from 45 55 North South to be distributed by the Highway Commission based on need. Northerners led by Sens. Alan Short and Milton Marks warned of log rolling, while Gov. Reagan suggested broader commission spending powers to address dangerous curves. Senator Howard Way broke with Valley allies, voting yes as the measure advanced to the Assembly.
