Washington County Road Bonds Highlight Local Pride
The article argues counties voting bonds for primary road construction gain long term advantage. It explains the primary road fund sources and required allocations for maintenance refunds and bond principal and interest. It notes fifty three counties have issued bonds totaling about sixty million dollars and forecasts annual debt service.
Primary road funds limit state construction capacity
The text notes fixed annual payments totaling about 11 million dollars from the primary road fund before any construction. After these obligations, about 4.5 million dollars remains for the State Highway Commission to use on primary road construction not otherwise funded. It also states 46 counties have not voted bonds for their primary roads, and 4.5 million annually would still be insufficient to improve all such highways.
