Road to Nowhere prompts Kansas road funding debate
An official from a Kansas road study group presented in Topeka that 75 percent of Kansas 21,000 miles of roads are poor or fair. The report calls for $531.6 million yearly for 20 years to upgrade roads and bridges, creating about 14,000 jobs, while noting current spending and a funding shortfall. The group is partly sponsored by highway contractors and related businesses. It urges reevaluating the need for extensive road coverage and overhaul of costly regulations before expanding spending.
