Forest Roads at Risk Without Agricultural Bill Amendments
Henry Blood, chair of the state road commission, warns forest roads and trails face funding shortfalls unless the Senate amends the agricultural bill. He notes only about 101,000 dollars may remain from a 6,500,000 appropriation for forest road construction this year, while the planned western program totals 32,239,000 dollars.
