easily passed what's called the
"compromise bill."

It relies on two- billion dollars
in bonds, a ten- dollar increase in the
vehicle registration fee, and higher

fines on dangerous drivers.

It also uses money from the
state's general fund- which funds the
Commonwealth's core

Smullin says he picked the
intersection of Sunset and Rodeo Drive
because the people who pass through
have a lot of dough.

sign a car pulled up claiming to be a
publicist.

The two have arranged a meeting
to talk.
