Bond Commission Meeting

Since the signing of the monumental transportation bond bill in April, the big question was how long it would take to see movement on the state's issuance of bonds. On June 9, the Bond Commission was meeting to bring up some of the highway and bridge projects. The vote on the issuance of bonds now has been delayed till mid July. Both MDOT and State Aid had resolutions ready for the state to move on the issuance of bonds and I appreciate their hard work in preparing these quickly.

Speaking of the bond bill, Senator and Chairman of Finance Dean Kirby was a key player in the bond bills passage. While Road Builders was having our convention in May, I received a call that Dean had not only one heart attack but two. I just got off the phone with him and he is doing great with more energy than ever.
