Henderson: ‘Doesn’t delay a thing’
Rep. Frank Henderson, R-Post Falls, said his lower GARVEE bonding motion "doesn't delay a thing" on the Garwood-to-Sagle project, because $24 million authorized last year for both right-of-way acquisition and construction on the project remains unspent, awaiting completion of an environmental assessment. "If they can start next May or June, that ... can be used," Henderson said. "The substitute motion does not impose a delay on the project on Highway 95 in the Garwood to Sagle area. ... We'll be in session next year, and we can provide the additional appropriation needed, and we can avoid the costly issue of negative arbitrage."
