A large batch of highway projects was approved and rushed to Washington, with about a dozen contracts let by the State Highway and Public Works Commission. The move aims to put hundreds back to work, while the tobacco market faces price pressures and a planned sales tax debate continues. Meanwhile prison escapes, bank deposit insurance expansion, and revenue reports shape state policy.
