Legislators Back After Week's Recess on Roads
A legislative report cites uneven progress on developing a usable secondary road system. Northern counties need fewer miles than southern ones, with Mills County needing 458 miles while its northern neighbor needs none. A proposed farm to market fund would match federal aid with state road tax funds to equalize work statewide. Rep Gene Poston pushed for annual legislative sessions, arguing most see no need to shorten meetings and favored a short session in even years to stay connected with issues.
