2007 House Bill 5221 ↩

House Roll Call 497: Passed

To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill, which contains just the (mostly) federal airport money, and not the spending authorization for some $1.5 billion in new state and university construction projects, most of which would be paid for with money borrowed by the state. This concludes what press reports called "a game of chicken," in which the House tried to attach the extra spending to the federal money, which must be accepted soon or foregone.
