Vice Speaker Benjamin Cruz Introduces Bill 443 to Resolve Federal Highway Concerns

Hagåtña – April 2, 2012 —Vice Speaker Benjamin J.F. Cruz issued the following statement regarding recent Federal Highway concerns and bill 31-188:

“I authored Bill 343 (COR) to specifically address non-routed roads. In spite of this fact, other members saw fit to expand the measure to include routed-roads notwithstanding the objections of at least two senators. It is unfortunate that the Governor’s Legislative Review Committee was not made aware of the issues cited by Federal Highways before it was signed into law and I introduced Bill 443 to resolve these problems and restore the intent of my original legislation”
