New Speed Limit Gains Support
(AP) - Speedy drivers w ould
have the law on th eir side u n ­

publican said. “ W e have put
them in a position o f enforcing
a law th at no one re sp e c ts.”
M ille r’s p ro p o sal, SB 502,
w ould give the O regon D e­
partm ent o f T ransportation the

up to 75 m ph.
O regon and Iow a are the

“ T here are parts o f this state

G ov. John K itzh ab er vetoed
