Industry-Led Transportation Speakers Lined Up For Jan. 12th Hearing

Here's where a special state transportation financing and planning commission (read: more highway-building) two-stage hearing will take place tomorrow - - led off by a long list of "interest groups" followed separately by interested citizens later in the day.

Testimony of Transportation Interest Groups:
