Des Moines Farm to Market Faction Pushes Road Funding Plan
Iowa legislators backed a plan to limit primary road expansion until 60 percent of secondary roads are paved or improved. Don W. McLean led the campaign to require the highway commission to finish primary and county trunk roads and at least 60 percent of remaining secondary roads before adding mileage to the primary system. The measure, part of the farm to market effort, aims to channel funds to secondary routes and prevent rapid diagonal road construction.
