Ogilvie road bond fight heads to Senate floor
Paul Simeon attacks a $2 billion highway bond plan with no public referendum and a gasoline tax increase. The Senate Revenue Committee backed the bills, amid a heated dispute over a Highway Trust Authority to issue bonds and oversee road spending, with critics warning of legal and fiscal risks and proponents arguing pay-as-you-go is insufficient. The debate features Lt Gov Simon and state officials proposing alternatives and defending the bond plan as essential to road upkeep.
