Officials deny political motives in land settlement push
Chittim says he moved to settle the land issue after encouragement from Van Delinder and a governor's aide, with no political implications admitted. Governor Tim Babcock and Highway Commissioner Van Delinder, both Republicans, supported settling to start an $4.75 million eight mile I 90 project. James B Patten says Packwood was sent to talk with Chittim, noting the governor's office favored settlement to advance the project. Van Delinder contends the aim was simply to move work forward and that financial district funding for interstate highways remains a concern.
