That must have been a tough plan to come up with for the CEO of an asphalt company.

State Sen. Fred Smith says as governor, he would support a $4 billion highway bond.

Smith, a Republican running for governor, said his "Good Roads, Safe Bridges" plan would distribute the money across the state's counties on a per capita basis. County leaders would decide how best to use the money, Smith said.

Smith said the state could borrow the money without raising taxes through spending cuts and other measures.

"The issue is not money," Smith said. "The issue is willpower."
