Senate Sends $1 Billion Dollar Public Works Bill To Governor

The Senate sent the Governor a nearly $1 billion dollar public works bill that advocates say will create up to 20,000 jobs, but opponents argue is too large. The Senate approved the conference committee report on the measure Thursday, March 11th.
