Governor Smith Seeks Special Session Over Road Referendum
Governor Forrest Smith said he intends to ask the General Assembly to call a special election if petitions for a road referendum are sufficient.

He cited opposition by oil interests and fuel station operators pressuring signatures while claiming the gas tax funds would be spent in rural areas.
