After the House passed the GARVEE bond bill today, handing Gov. Butch Otter a rare victory in his transportation initiative this year, House Speaker Lawerence Denney said, “I think we can finish next week - I hope we can finish.” Denney said he’s not planning any more tries in the House on gas tax or car registration fee increases, proposals from the governor to fund transportation which have met resistance in the House. “I think we have given it a good try on nearly everything - hopefully that’s enough,” the speaker said.
