Iowa Counties Debate Bonded Road Improvements
Marshalltown Times-Republican reports that nearly every Iowa county discusses issuing bonds to fund primary road improvements. Some counties have bonds approved but not issued and seek state highway commission permission to issue the remainder. The new July law will shift primary roads to state control, with funds from motor vehicle licenses and gas taxes becoming a state road fund. Full state road construction may take 15 to 20 years, leaving many counties waiting years for improvement.
