Iowa AG blocks using road funds to remove billboards and junkyards
Iowa Attorney General Richard Turner ruled that the primary road fund cannot finance removing billboards and junkyards along highways. The decision puts the $17 million to $20 million state share at risk, likely requiring funds from the General Fund as Iowa faces tight finances. The ruling jeopardizes legislation approved by the Senate and now in the House, with a March 31 deadline looming to avoid losing $7.4 million in federal highway money.
