Hardin county voting approves large bond issues
Hardin county voters last Friday backed two bond measures for nearly 2 million dollars, with the primary bond at 1.3 million and the secondary at 600 thousand. Eldora and Iowa Falls showed strong support. Radcliffe opposed the secondary in its town, while Pleasant and Sherman voted against it in the country. The Times-Republican lauds Iowa’s progression toward paved primaries and roads, noting Bremer and other counties following suit, and credits a shift from resistance to broad support for road bonds.
