» A graphic on Page 1 in yesterday's morning edition misstated the current state vehicle tax. The tax is three-fourths of 1 cent, not 75 cents per pound, for vehicles up to 4,000 pounds. The same graphic also misstated the total cost of the state's highway improvement proposal. It is $4 billion, not $46 billion. A story on Page 7 yesterday also misstated what the new vehicle tax would be under the proposal. It would jump to 2 3/4 cents per pound instead of 77 cents per pound. The graphic has been removed from the online edition of the story.

CLARIFICATION
» Methadone can also be used for chronic pain relief.  Originally, this article incorrectly implied that the drug is only used to control drug addiction. The online edition has been updated.
