Highway bond bill called joker in Texas senate row
Sept 15. Senator Hill of Henderson says the highway bond financing bill passed last week contains a joker that would block $2,000,000 from the gasoline tax for a term-to-market road program. Allan Shivers of Fort Arthur supports the bill, claiming AG approval. Hill insists the measure surfaces a fund diversion and faults the plan.
