There Is enough money now, but Highway Funds are being "raided" for non highway projects and agencies. By rededlcating highway funds with a constitu tional amendment (which will be on the November ballot) to cover highway Improvements only, an additional $55 million would be available for use on highways each biennium. This rededication alone would produce the necessary funds to com plete all of the highway department projects through the 80-81 biennium and still leave a surplus of over $27 million.
