Holden balks on road plan

Governor Holden says he wants to lead. But he doesn’t appear willing to step forward on solving the state’s transportation problems. Some legislators were hoping Governor Holden would suggest some ideas for meeting the state’s transportation needs. He didn’t. Although Republicans say they were glad to hear Holden say credibility has to be restored to the transportation department, they’re also disappointed that Holden offered no more specifics. The only proposal so far raising more money for transportation has been put on the shelf in the state senate, the Democratic sponsor saying Republicans aren’t showing a lot of interest.
