Topeka ? Some projects promised under the state’s 10-year highway improvement program will not be completed unless legislators provide additional revenue, Transportation Secretary Deb Miller said Tuesday.

Miller said Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ proposal to issue $465 million in bonds would make up for the diversion in recent years of revenue intended for road projects into other operations.

“Absent that replacement revenue, we simply could not complete this program as planned,” Miller said during an interview after a joint meeting of the House and Senate Transportation committees.

For the fiscal year that starts July 1, Sebelius has called for spending $202 million earmarked on other government functions. Her bond plan calls for issuing $100 million in highway bonds next year, $150 million in 2006 and $215 million in 2007.

Miller began lobbying Tuesday for Sebelius’ plan, showing the committees a video featuring interviews with officials and residents in communities where KDOT has projects. She said the presentation was intended to remind legislators of why the state embarked on the program five years ago.

The committee plans to review Sebelius’ proposal in detail next week.

“We want to get people up to date,” Miller said.

House Transportation Committee Chairman Gary Hayzlett said such presentations might make some legislators more inclined to support issuing more bonds. Five years ago, lawmakers approved nearly $1 billion in bonds for the transportation program.

As for Sebelius’ plan, Hayzlett, R-Lakin, said, “It sounds like it could be very workable.”
