Montana House Moves to Halt Contract Highway Letting
In Helena Montana legislators pace the biennial session with 45 house and 24 senate measures filed and many more expected. A nine member bill aims to abolish contract highway letting requiring the highway commission to handle all road work with day labor and government equipment, with penalties for violations. Proponents say it would curb out of state contractors and favor Montana labor. A pension plan proposal seeks a $2 million fund via a chain store to start a state old age program.
