“We intend to have this be a short, productive meeting,” said Senate Transportation Chairman Bert Brackett, R-Rogerson, as he opened today’s conference committee meeting between the House and the Senate on transportation funding. Brackett said he’s going to ask Legislative Services Director Eric Milstead to go over the procedure and the process, to start things off.

He added, “I assume if we go into the noon hour, that lunch will be served, or brought in.”
