Why the Datour on Billboards in Iowa
Debate over billboard regulation on interstate highways resurfaces with possible federal funding bonus. Legislation introduced in January faces delays, while lawmakers seek ways to raise funds for state operations and property tax relief. If adopted, the plan could add 1.7 billion dollars for interstate road work through federal matching. Proponents say signs are allowed for safety and convenience. opponents fear curbs on billboard interests. Local groups largely back regulation, and some lawmakers warn those opposing extra road money will need to answer to voters.
