Is there a record for longest bill introduced?

As far as (iii) in the summary, how is that local governments will be more efficient than the state in maintaining certain roads? I would think economies of scale would greatly favor the state doing this at a lower costs, especially as only cities and a few counties maintain their roads now.

Perhaps the idea is to pass this burden along to localities, so no additional revenue is needed at the state level, recognizing that higher local taxes to pay for this inefficiency will be localities' problems. Fiscal conservatism, anyone?
