Iowa highway money critique and call to reject bond plan
Ralph A. Thompson lambasts a proposed one hundred million dollar Iowa highway bond plan claiming prior spending by the highway commission wasted taxpayer funds and that the governor and state leaders seek to push through a costly debt with hidden pledges. He warns it would saddle farmers with heavy direct taxes and extend debt over twenty years while counties that did not approve local bonds would be left underfunded.
