Interstate standards draw fire from governor and officials
The Weekly Town Press Association summarizes criticism of the new interstate standards by Governor Herghe Loveless and Iowa officials. They argue fewer urban interchanges and lanes threaten adequacy and shift costs to defense funding. The public roads bureau may reject the revised minimum standards, while the highway commission pushes for clarification. The piece also notes a constitutional convention debate and prison industries spending concerns raised by State Auditor Chet Akers, including Fort Madison and Anamosa facilities.
