Road paving seen as Iowa investment not tax, says Orchard
A Iowa roads advocate argues paving is an investment, not a tax. He cites 5000 miles paving underway, with $6 million to $8 million surplus yearly funding more miles over 10 years. He estimates higher car taxes to fund Nebraska and outlines savings from reduced operating costs, urging statewide paving to boost traffic and livestock shipping. He urges engineers to design a comprehensive plan covering all counties and notes widespread local aid requests.
