Speed Bill Hits Road Block in House

Senator Caskey's plan to raise speed limits hits a road block in the House, Jack Dolan has the story from Jefferson City.

On Monday, Senator Harlod Caskey filibustered for five hours to stall passage of a bill that would keep speed limits lower than 70 miles per hour on certain highways. On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to send the bill back to the senate without changes. Representative Yates.

Actuality: Yates
RunTime:
OutCue: ...day to do it.
Contents: [117K WAV file - Yates says if we are going to cave in to the senator from Bates, it's only appropriate we wait until April fool's day to do it.]

This means Caskey might have to talk until April to prevent the Senate from voting on the bill.

From Jefferson City, I'm Jack Dolan.
