A new law to reduce the number of commercial truck permits the state requires might benefit the family business of the state lawmaker who pushed the measure. Sen. Heather Cloud, R-Turkey Creek, authored Senate Bill 260 even though her husband Jody owns a commercial trucking company that could gain from the bill.

Cloud said her husband’s company only has one truck that hauls heavy equipment and won’t be affected much by the new law. Want more breaking political news…
