His numbers were 8 0 14 15 17 32, and relatives flooded him with calls, leaving him shaken but unafraid for the future.

Iowa May Borrow to Repair Roads If Gas Tax Fails
Key Iowa lawmakers warn bonding could be the only option if a gas tax increase stalls. Rep. Richard Drake says a failure this year or next would push the state into a desperate position. Gov Branstad's proposal would add 2 C per gallon to fund a 2,000 mile primary highway network, but prospects are uncertain with rural urban split and reapportionment looming. If no action by March 1, winter road programs risk delays and summer projects may be deferred.
