Lawmakers delay vote on steel mill benefits

Arkansas lawmakers delayed a vote on benefits for billion dollar steel mill.

The legislation would allow Arkansas to issue bonds to provide loans and pay some of the construction costs of the mill in Osceola.

Voting was delayed due to technical changes in the bill.

The Arkansas House is expected to pickup the vote Monday.

The steel mill is expected to bring 525 jobs to the area.
