Georgia House Deliberates Highway Funds Diversion
The Georgia House, as a committee of the whole, moved to continue sections of the annual appropriation bill while diverting 5.551 million 4100 of highway funds over the next two years to cover unpaid appropriations. Orville A. Park led the bid to divert 15 percent of highway funds into the state treasury for legislative appropriation. The move drew opposition from Governor Russell supporters and was not voted on in full. Unanimous consent deferred common school sections and other budget reductions pending action on all sections.
