Arkansas Online: Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Friday that he supports legislation that would refer to voters in 2018 a highway bond proposal financed with a sales tax on motor fuels.
The ballot measure proposed for the 2018 general election would authorize the state Highway Commission to issue bonds for 20 years. Approval of the bonds would lead to applying the 6.5 percent state sales tax on the wholesale price of gasoline and diesel.
The Republican governor, speaking in Little Rock, also defended Senate-approved legislation that would allow concealed-weapons permit holders who take eight hours of additional training to carry guns on state college campuses, at the Capitol and other places.
