Two transportation bills stall in House By Deanna Wrenn
Unless Indiana passes the open container bill, the state must shift more than $13 million in federal road construction money to safety funds, and will lose $1.3 million outright. Indiana could lose nearly $115 million over the next six years if the state doesn't pass a federally compliant open container law and if a federal funding bill currently before Congress passes.
Bill supporters, who have not received a hearing for such legislation in the House since 1994, say the state needs the money.
Bill Livvix, a lobbyist with the Indiana Regional Council of Carpenters, said the construction jobs paid for by the federal dollars are an important reason to pass the bill.
''We need them a lot more than we need to be able to drink a beer in the back seat on the way to a ball game,'' he said.------------------------------------------- posted 6:50 AM :: reference link ::
