Editorial: A bill that should not pass
The House passed a bill to allow extra wide buses on interstate highways and sent it to the Senate. It would raise highway hazards by obstructing vision and shrinking space for autos, plus heavier pavement damage. Wider trucks could follow, bringing more vehicles and costs for road repair. Senators should reject this bill to protect motorists and taxpayers.
